I, Serene, pledge to speak kindly about my body.

I promise not to talk about how fat my thighs or stomach or butt are [edit: in a way that implies there's anything wrong with the fact that my thighs and stomach and butt are fat], or about how I really have to lose 5 or 15 or 50 pounds. I promise not to call myself a fat pig, gross, or any other self-loathing, trash-talking phrase.

I vow to be kind to myself and my body. I will learn to be grateful for its strength and attractiveness, and be compassionate toward its failings.

I will remind myself that bodies come in all shapes and sizes, and that no matter what shape and size my body is, it’s worthy of kindness, compassion, and love.
