not to be sappy on the tl but i think a lot of people don't realise how precious their body is. like, this is the only body you get in this lifetime and you have to cherish it. i know body dysmorphia is awful, trust me, but please always remember that you're beautiful, always

no matter what other people say; look in the mirror and try to really think about it. your body is unique to you and you only. you don't need to alter it if it's healthy. every little imperfection, every pimple, roll, scar — they're all perfect

it's harder said than done, i know, but try at least one day at a time to remember that you are beautiful because you are /you/, not because you're skinny or conform to the beauty standards etc. you are you and that's the only thing that matters.
