Hello Me Therapy

It’s actually really normal for body changes in recovery to feel a bit like grief.

You’re letting go of old habits and beliefs, and sometimes even the praise that came with shrinking. It makes sense that your body and mind need time to adjust.

Feeling this way doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong.
It’s a natural part of building a healthier and more grounded relationship with yourself.

Take it one step at a time. You’re not going backward. You’re growing, even if it feels unfamiliar right now.

Mark your calendars! Camp Take Up Space is back again THIS summer! From September 17th to 20th, 2025, Chub Hub PDX is hosting this 4-day, 3-night camp for fat, q***r, and neurodivergent folks right here in Oregon.

The camp is fully ADA accessible, with buffet-style meals and activities like crafting, swimming, dancing, singing, peer-led skill-building, and even an (un)talent show! 🎤💃

Tickets are already on sale, so snag your spot while you can! This is your chance to relax, connect, and celebrate in a space where you can truly be yourself. ❤️

As the year begins, it’s common to feel pressure to change your body or approach it differently. Body acceptance isn’t something you achieve all at once, and it doesn’t require a fresh start. It’s often built through small, consistent shifts that support safety, respect, and care.

These gentle practices are meant to reduce pressure, not add to it. Over time, they can help create a more supportive relationship with your body as you move through the year.

If any of these feel relevant, take a moment to notice which one might be most supportive for you right now.
