- Use Positive Affirmations
Combat negative self-talk by writing down qualities about yourself that aren’t related to appearance or weight. Place these affirmations near your mirror and say them daily. Examples include: I am happy to be me, My worth is not defined by my appearance, and I will cherish my body as it changes. - See Yourself as a Whole Person
Focus on qualities beyond physical appearance, such as being a good friend or kind individual. Write these down as reminders of your value, especially when you’re feeling low. - Surround Yourself with Positivity
Spend time with people who uplift and encourage you. Be mindful of social media—unfollow accounts that negatively affect your self-esteem and follow those that inspire and promote positivity.
