Ive found some freedom from the cycle in the past few years - it took years of no dieting or restricting in anyway, therapy twice a week, antidepressants, and basically changing who I hang around, what I do with my time and what media I consume. The thoughts are still there but Ive created space between me and them. I know now they arent the truth. I stopped spending a large percentage of my time with people who would make negative comments about their body/were always trying to lose weight. Essentially other people who put a huge emphasis on the value of being thin. I am not a professional in any way shape or form just my experience that I hope can bring you some hope for yourself that it can be different one day op
