The purpose of this blog is act as a reminder to other individuals struggling that they are not alone, and to never give up their pursuit of life without their internal demons.
Whether these demons be an eating disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, depression, low self-esteem anxiety, poor body image, or any other mental health issue, we ALL battle something that makes life hard to cope with.
The Internal Acceptance Movement is a group geered towards spreading eating disorder awareness and shedding light on how the media distorts our perception of beauty through false advertising, photo shopping, and air brushing techniques.
I. A.M. stresses that we aren't defined by anything external, such as our weight, appearance, shape, other's opinions of us, our background, our race, etc.
Rather our internal qualities, such as our character, our passions, our goals, our morals, our attitude, the way in which we treat others--these are truly self defining.
