New Body Problem

[@lindsaywilliams3774]

Keep going. Acceptance and perception come with time. You CAN rewire your brain and CHOOSE self love. Life is so much better. Time is your friend.

Thanks so much for this video! It shows how important the rewiring part is. I'm currently gaining weight and it makes me somehow angry that some people seem to assume that just by weight gain everything would be resolved. I also keep telling people or at least I try to make them aware of the fact that it might be the other way round for some people. That with weightgain there comes along the tough stuff to deal with and that rewiring is essentiell here! When you describe it it makes so much sense and the principle is simple but, like you said, not always quite that easy. You have such a wonderful ability to describe things in an easy understandable and humorous way. Thanks Tabitha!!!

Why is there so much emotion attached to recovery that I don’t fully understand when my mood changes multiple times a day? I definitely miss my sickest self at times as well.

This is where I'm at now. I'm trying to accept my new body, but it's hard. This was helpful. Thank you Tabitha for all you do😊

I have raging BDD... I can tell that I have gained a bit of weight in the past couple of years (I tend to go up and down), though I've not weighed myself in three years. I am also running consistently and my legs have "bulked up" noticeably, which freaks me out. I am trying very hard to commit to neural rewiring, but it feels overwhelmingly difficult and I am having major anxiety, sadness, and anger. I dislike looking at myself in the mirror, and pick apart every little bit of myself. I am beginning to do EMDR with a new therapist, and am truly hopeful it will help, but I also need to commit to not wallowing in self-hatred on the daily. Thank you, Tabitha, for your videos. They are truly helping me inch along, and my husband and mum and dad have all been watching them as well and have found them to be incredibly illuminating.

This is such a life saver right now! Thank you for all the input❤️

Thank you for this. Really brilliant advice. “Making friends with your body”. So simple yet so necessary. Sorting it out now ♥️

[@lilypiebamber]

I want to accept myself but no one else does. It's so incredibly hard to be okay with other people hating the way I look. I just can't see it ever happening for me and I feel utterly hopeless.

@chocolate chip cookie for what it’s worth, i accept you ❤️

[@sobersecularhumanist]

Whoever is hating on your appearance so much does not deserve a minute of your time!!

[@lilypiebamber]

@@sobersecularhumanist it's crazy how much has changed between then and now lol. thankfully i don't think this way anymore (the person hating on my appearance was me!) thank you so much for the kind comment :)

[@sobersecularhumanist]

@@lilypiebamber so glad things are looking up for you !

[@MissYinKS]

@@lilypiebamber hey i saw your comment 3 years ago and the recent one last month, it seems that you've got into a better place! i am just 3 months in and can't help to ask: it gets better and recovery is worth it... right??! :')

[@yeneliagu6811]

thank you so much! is really dificult to accept my body, I don´t like it, I prefer to be thin forever but I can´t so I have to be friend with it! thank you Tabitha, you always has the correct words! :)

[@xMyLovelyBonesx]

I'm working on loving my new body. Not quite there yet but I don't hate it anymore, so that's progress!

[@angelaautumn1927]

I used to feel the same way when I overslept. Like I had failed. Now, things aren't perfect (i.e. anxiety free) but I'm more okay with taking changes in stride.

[@prabhabowden-smith764]

Excellent and really important video, which I feel will help those in recovery a lot. Thank you

[@elevenbyfive]

[@tiffanylyman-olszewski7359]
