I follow Lena Dunham on Instagram, because she is such a lovely inspiration to myself, who also suffered with childhood OCD, anxiety and depression. I decided to repost this particular photo because I have struggled with balancing the shame of weight gain from my medications that control my mind and the logical notion that they are helping me recover. But my thought process was flawed- exercising isn't about looking good and controlling weight! It's about leading a healthy lifestyle, and a health body really does help to make a healthy mind.
So thank you Lena (I speak as if we are bffs) for reminding me of this.
