Let's chat about BODY IMAGE! đź’ś
Body image refers to a person’s emotional attitudes, beliefs, and perceptions of their own body. Experts describe it as a complex emotional experience.
Body image relates to:
✨ What a person believes about their appearance
✨ How they feel about their body, height, weight, and shape
✨ How they sense and control their body as they move
A person’s body image will range from positive, or satisfaction with their body, to negative, or dissatisfaction with their body.
A body image does not develop in isolation. Culture, family, and friends all convey positive and negative messages about the body.
The media, peers, and family members can all influence a person’s body image. They can encourage people, even from a young age, to believe that there is an ideal body. The image is often an unnatural one.
Discrimination based on race, size, ability, gender orientation, and age also plays a role. Exposure to daily micro-aggressions at work and in society can cause people to feel that they do not measure up or that they are somehow lacking.
All of these factors can impact a person’s mental and physical well-being.
As the wise Emma Watson once said, who you are as a person is much more important than the shape/size of your body! đź’ś

We all have days that might feel more productive or better than other days... but we shouldn't ever put ourselves down over this! Instead of worrying about what you weren't able to get done... be proud of yourself for the things that you DID get done today!
This goes hand-in-hand with recovering from your eating disorder! Some days might feel like a breeze, when other days feel like the hardest struggle that you just don't know how to cope with. These feelings are okay and completely NORMAL! Just remember how strong you have been in your journey to recovery. You are doing just FINE! We are so proud of you for pushing through day-by-day!
Small steps are just as important as huge leaps... always remember that! đź’ś
Your body needs food to function throughout the day! Don't let your eating disorder or diet culture convince you otherwise.
You must eat to allow your body to function properly. Multiple times per day... every day. Eat the food that you enjoy most! What satisfies you? Enjoy it! Your body and your recovery will thank you for the nourishment! đź’ś

We have all heard this saying as it gets warmer outside...
"Time to get my Summer body."
But, what if we recognized the unquestionable fact that we already have a "Summer body." We have our "Summer bodies" just as we have a Winter body and a Spring body. There is nothing that changes in between besides how you dress to keep your body comfortable! Your body is already prepared for the season that we are entering, and it will always be prepared for every season!
Monday night at 6 PM, we'd love to invite you to join us for a FREE virtual workshop with our Friends and Family Support Group where we will answer any and all of your questions about eating disorders and mental health and provide you with an open forum to make validating supportive connections with others sharing this experience!

Prosperity was designed to meet the nutritional, psychological, psychiatric, and emotional needs of clients with eating disorders for a number of reasons:
We are conscientious about the amount of time, energy and resources it takes for someone to be treated in a comprehensive and integrative way. Prosperity created a place where one can receive all their treatment under one roof.
We believe that the client’s treatment team should be able to interface, coordinate and communicate efficiently for the benefit of the client.
We believe that every individual has specific needs and differences and their treatment should be as individualized as they are. By using holistic modalities such as art, equine or other expressive therapies, a client will be able to explore their feelings, thoughts and behaviors in a way that is meaningful to them.

Thursday reminder that you are NOT a number! There is no single number or physical characteristic in the world that defines your worth!
When did we become so caught up with something so intangible like numbers that we've forgotten to love ourselves? Rather than defining ourselves by who we are as human beings we've become so accustomed to using numbers to portray something that is so much more.
Transcend those numbers. Break the stigma. You are a human being, not a number. Stop letting that consume your life. Wear that crop top. Eat that ice cream. Post that selfie. Buy that watch you've been wanting to get. Life is too short to get caught up in the numbers
