The Body Pledge

This is old, but always good.

The Body Pledge:


I vow to try and start loving my body, however I am feeling, however I look and wherever I am.

I promise to stop the negative self-talk and fight back against my negative thoughts- not everything I say is true.

I pledge never to participate in group body bashing of myself and others. This includes snide remarks towards other girls and picking apart myself.

I promise to refrain from hurting my body by- doing violence to it, not feeding it right and not taking care of it.

I promise to try and not compare my body to others.

I promise to not be affected by the negative appeals of the media. I know that the media does not set the standards of beauty or perfection.

I promise to recognize that all body types are beautiful.

I vow to recognize my strengths, achievements and attractiveness. I am a wonderful, unique person.

I promise to not get down on myself when I make a mistake. I am human; mistakes are how I learn.

I pledge not to change my personality or how I act no matter how I feel around other people. Those who do not respect me and my true self do not deserve my friendship.

I vow to stand up for myself and others. We all deserve respect and love.
