Support those fighting for recovery from eating disorders. Remember those who lost the fight. Support each other.
I will accept myself as I am. My uniqueness is a badge of
honor, something to be proud of. There is no one in the world quite
like me and I will strive to develop my special skills and abilities.
I will accept others as they are. Each person is special and different. I will to try to learn from these differences rather than be critical of them.
I will support diversity and freedom of expression in the way people think, look and live. There
is no single standard of “rightness,” rather we live in a world of
individuals, each of whom provides a different answer. Through our
differences humanity continues to evolve.
I will not tolerate physical or mental abuse. There
is NEVER a reason for people to hurt other people and I will do my
utmost to prevent such abuse. We are all equal and deserve the same
thoughtful consideration.
I will actively work to change media programming and advertising that exploits or demeans the human body. Setting
standards of physical “perfection” is harmful to everybody. The media
needs to understand that real human beauty lies in our differences, not
our similarities.
I will work to improve the lives of individuals, communities and the environment. As
a responsible member of society, I understand that the more good I do
for the people and places around me, the better off everyone will be.
We need to think not only of today, but of tomorrow and our children’s
future.
I will
support good health through proper nutrition, regular
exercise and adequate sleep. Good health enables us to achieve success in life—at work, at home and in our personal relationships.
