I wanted to bump this question, ruby woo, because it is such an important one!
Let's see. When I'm feeling not-so-positive, here's some of what I do that helps me:
-exercise (gets me in touch with my body feeling strong and capable and the adrenalin rush feels good too)
-talk to or hang out with someone body positive (or go on body positive web sites)
-a few weeks ago i cried and told my partner my feelings on a bad day, and hy listened and reassured me genuinely that i had not done anything that was so bad
-let myself feel bad and realize it'll pass...

Do any of you have tips for when you're feeling not-so-positive?
This article pretty well sums up what it's like to be fat in a skinny, crunchy, yoga and snowboard loving town like Vancouver, and it gets really hard to remain positive at times. What do you do to be nice to yourself when you're feeling down? |
