I found this somewhere on the world wide interweb. Feel free to take, modify and share. I have been using it as inspiration on my first few post op days. The part in the italics are where I modified it and made it personal.

MY BODY PLEDGE

  • I vow to love my body--starting now, however I feel, where ever I am, whatever size I am in.
  • I vow to stop bashing my body & fight back against my bad thoughts--I have to learn to love myself, if I cant, how can I expect others to?
  • I vow to stop snide comments that make me feel less--I am not less, I am a whole hell of a lot more then that. I can lose weight, I AM losing weight. You are ugly and cruel on the inside.
  • I vow to stop comparing myself to others--This is usually my inner monologue. I know I will need help on this one
  • I vow to not be affected by the media--Your perception of beauty is not the only perception of beauty.
  • I vow to accept that ALL body types are beautiful--including mine. Before surgery and now. When I am swollen, bruised and in pain. My body is metamorphosing like a butterfly and this step in necessary.
  • I vow to recognize my strengths--Humor. Compassion. Loyalty. Patience. Perseverance. Courage.
  • I vow to not let my mistakes keep me down--We all make them. It is knowing the difference between setback and failure.
  • I vow to not change my personality--My self esteem maybe higher, but the root of me is still the same. I am exactly who i was before, and if you couldn't see through the extra weight to find out what kind of person I was then you don't deserve the opportunity now
  • I vow to stand up for myself & others--We all deserve love and respect.
