process. There are good days and bad. But I won’t judge myself during the dark
ones. - I agree to surround myself with supportive and positive people.
- I agree to remove anything from my home that doesn’t make me feel good,
including certain magazines and diet books. - I agree to wear clothes that make me feel good.

to fit the clothes, the clothes need to fit me.) - I agree to have more fun, whatever that means to me.
- I agree to pamper myself once a week.
- I agree to take the time to think about my boundaries.
- I agree to avoid body bashing and dig deeper if I realize that I can’t
stop. - I agree to thank my body for all the amazing things it does for me.
- I agree to remember that real women aren’t just curvy or thin or
muscular. Real women come in all shapes and sizes. - I agree to pursue my passions or learn more about them.
- I agree to take the
focus away from weight when I work out and focus on how I feel. - I agree to turn
to healthy coping strategies when I’m feeling anxious, overwhelmed or
upset. - I agree to reach out for help when I need it.

yet. - I agree to see my body as a whole, rather than a collection of parts
that need to be controlled. - I agree to trust my body.
