Hi marykeat,

Google the Health at Any Size movement, Dances with Fat and Fat Heffalump. I’m not fat, but I read things from those sources to prevent my mind going back and buying into society/culture’s beauty ideas/mandates.

As (I hope) you already know mentally, your value has NOTHING to do with the number on the scale. You have to internalize the knowledge of your value though.

Do you eat right? Exercise? Drink water? Take care of yourself (sleep, vitamins, doctor’s visits, etc.)? Then you look fine, and seeing even just a bit of your face in your profile pic, in my opinion, beautiful!

Blessings,

Inky
