Food is not the enemy.  It isn’t synonymous with weight gain. It doesn’t equal fat. Food is life. It’s fuel. Eating isn’t an act of shame. It isn’t weakness. It’s a form of self-care. Eating is about more than just nourishing your body—it’s about nourishing your heart and soul. Food gives us the energy we need to follow our dreams, make connections, explore new places, take hold of opportunities, and engage in life. You’ve believed the thoughts telling you food is bad for far too long. It’s time to challenge them. It’s time to give yourself permission to eat. It’s time to say yes to life. 

Food is not the enemy. 

It isn’t synonymous with weight gain.

It doesn’t equal fat.

Food is life.

It’s fuel.

Eating isn’t an act of shame.

It isn’t weakness.

It’s a form of self-care.

Eating is about more than just nourishing your body—it’s about nourishing your heart and soul.

Food gives us the energy we need to follow our dreams, make connections, explore new places, take hold of opportunities, and engage in life.

You’ve believed the thoughts telling you food is bad for far too long.

It’s time to challenge them.

It’s time to give yourself permission to eat.

It’s time to say yes to life.

About The Movement:

My name is Daniell, and I am the creator of the Internal Acceptance Movement (I. A.M.)

Need support? Have a question?

  • Ask me anything
    • I'm here and I care.

    The Internal Acceptance Movement is an online space that advocates self-acceptance, healthy body image, recovery from self-destructive behaviors and addictions, and the acceptance of all people, regardless of what they look like, who they identify as, what they have been through, and where they come from. I. A.M. is a space that offers support to those battling their inner demons and strength to continue fighting when all hope seems to be gone.

    I. A.M. represents the idea that as human beings, we aren't defined by anything external, such as our weight, appearance, body shape, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, clothing choices, income, occupation, or background. But that instead, it's our internal qualities--our character and attitude, our passions and dreams, our soul and spirit, our heart and capacity to love, our goals and morals, and the way in which we treat others--that are truly self defining.

    Whether you're battling an eating disorder, self-harm, alcoholism, drug addiction, depression, PTSD, low self-esteem, anxiety, self-hating thoughts, poor body image, or any other mental health condition or self-destructive behavior, I. A.M. exists to remind you that you are NOT alone in how you feel or what you're going through; that it's okay to not be okay, and that you don't have to face this pain alone; that things can and will get better; that healing and recovery are possible; that there is nothing wrong with who you are; the who you are is enough; and that you are deserving of happiness, love, and acceptance, always.


    I'm here if you need me: whether it's support, someone to vent to, a question, or you just want to say hi--know that this is a safe place and that you aren't alone. If I don't respond immediately, know that I'm not ignoring you. I will message you back at my earliest convenience. If you have an emergency or feel that you want to hurt yourself, please, please call 911. I'm not a therapist or a mental health professional of any kind. If you're in danger, you need to ask for help from people who can adequately support you. Sending you love: Daniell
