Totally agree. This has been the hardest work I've done; this work around self acceptance, improved body image. It's one thing to ditch diet culture. And I'm not saying that's easy by any means. But, it just feels like less effort to "push away", to "reject," than it does to "open up" and "let in." This work will be with me the rest of my life. I know I need to take the long game. It's hard though. Real hard.
