This is a trap. It never works.

If you have an upcoming medical appointment, write down a script to advocate for yourself. Example: "I am aware of my weight. Today, I am here to discuss my [specific symptom]. I would like treatment that does not solely focus on weight loss."

You must bring body positivity to the table first . Only when you stop hating your body can you actually listen to its needs. When you aren't fighting a war with your stomach, you can finally hear that it needs more water, more sleep, or a walk outside.

Put away clothes that don't fit your current body. Buy one item that fits you comfortably today . You cannot practice wellness if you are physically uncomfortable.
