This is her story.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n3.<\/span> At a young age, Rothstein became self-conscious of her body.<\/h2> \t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n4.<\/span> “I remember standing at the bar in ballet class, looking in the mirror and comparing my body to everyone else’s.”<\/h2> \t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n5.<\/span> She began to use food to cope with her emotional anxieties and subsequently struggled with an eating disorder for a full decade.<\/h2> \t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n6.<\/span> After years of abuse, she had an important epiphany:<\/h2>\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n7.<\/span> “Everyone only gets one body in their lifetime. I knew I had to start treating mine differently,” she realized. From that day forward, she resolved to love her body for the rest of her life.<\/h2> \t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n8.<\/span> Recovery is hard and, “like peeling layers from an onion.”<\/h2> \t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n9.<\/span> As she began to seek a healthier way to deal with her emotions, Rothstein realized that the world tells bodies not to love themselves through all kinds of oppressions.<\/h2> \t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n10.<\/span> But loving your body is still a choice. And even though Rothstein chooses to loves her body, there are still moments that are difficult.<\/h2> \t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n11.<\/span> “Sometimes I feel fat. And when I think I feel fat, I remember that fat is not a feeling.”<\/h2> \t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n12.<\/span> So when you feel body dissatisfaction, remember that it’s not a real<\/i> feeling.<\/h2> \t\t\t
