There are tons of authors who write about how to love your body no matter what.  Search online for books and blogs about “body positivity.” These will generally emphasize loving your body at any weight. Find a blogger who’s a role model for how you want to feel about your body. Avoid magazines and TV shows that emphasize thinness as an ideal. You have skills and talents that don’t have anything to do with your weight. Don’t lose sight of everything else that makes you who you are. Write down a list of your strengths and positive qualities. You can refer back to it any time you’re feeling down. Affirmations are short sayings that you can say to yourself when you need a boost. Even if you’re feeling good, saying your affirmations daily is a good practice.  Say your affirmations in the mirror. That way, you’re literally talking to yourself. An affirmation can be as simple as, “I’m perfect the way I am” or “My body is beautiful.” Choose something that is meaningful for you. You can also remind yourself that your body is not just for looks. It’s also for playing with your kids, walking your dog, and for romance. Practice gratitude for all the wonderful things your body can do, instead of just paying attention to how it looks. Spend time with people who are focused on things other than body size. Do fun activities together to get your mind off of your weight.  Don’t spend time with people who complain about their weight. Their negativity can easily rub off on you. Always avoid people who have negative things to say about your weight. That is not their business, and it’s also bad manners. If someone says you look good, or that they like your outfit, accept it gracefully. Say “thank you.” Don’t deny or dismiss compliments. When you do that, you’re telling yourself that you don’t deserve it. But you must-- or that person wouldn’t have said anything. This can be hard, since we’re so used to it. However, everyone’s body is unique, so comparisons aren’t very helpful.  Look in the mirror, and like what you see. You won’t have anyone to compare yourself to. If you catch yourself comparing yourself to someone else, say one or two of your affirmations.
