Educate yourself. Understand the processes, self-talk,
and behaviors that may lead to the development of an eating
disorder.
Keep in mind your personal positive qualities and talents
Build up your self-image, body-image, and self-esteem;
accept who you are inside and outside.
Use food and eating to nourish and provide energy for your
body, not as a reward or punishment.
Understand there are no "good" or "bad" foods, simply
aim for balance, variety, and moderation in your healthful
eating plan.
