Great post by SarahSweet (and others)!
When I was eating disordered, I used to think that other people could be not-skinny and still attractive, but for some reason, I was the exception.
Now, I stand behind myself whatever weight I am, and focus on other things, like enjoying having boobs!
It's quite a subtle shift, but honestly our bodies can feel delightful when they're softer / curvier.
Just a thought but, maybe it might help to invest in some clothes that really go for it in terms of embracing a more voluptuous style. Then you're going out to meet the future with a certain aggressiveness / FU-ness that does feel excellent.
And... not being hungry all the time should give your mood a little boost.
Oh, and stop looking at magazines.
Big hugs to you. The beach is a real challenge.

Thank you @
Purple,Violet,Blue!
It's SO very hard to shift my whole entire mentality like that. I'm trying but it's undoing a lifetime of faulty thinking. I know in my logical mind that it's warped thinking.... I mean, our whole society is warped by thinking and throwing in our faces how women must be thin in order to be beautiful. It's not right, it's not fair. We then develop eating disorders partially as a result of our culture?? And because of other factors? Probably abuse of some sort? It makes me so angry..... sorry, I am now ranting and am going off in a tangent.
It's just hard.
