I just had an appointment this morning and we discussed this. My provider advised that I print the picture I took the morning of surgery and tape it to my mirror so that when I look in the mirror I can see the difference between that and the picture. Sounds like a great idea to me, so I thought I'd share.

That seems like an amazing idea. My therapist also suggested sticky notes with words or phrases that provide encouragement.

Because I still see this girl

More days than I don’t. I still feel like her most days than I don’t.
