'I urge you to hang on just a bit longer and ask for help if you need it. Because things can turn around. I promise.'
At 33, Jamil has learned to treat her body"with great respect" and checks in with it, thanking it for all that it does for her.
"I'm aware of what it's like to not be able to go to the toilet by myself, or to be able to breathe because I had asthma, or be able to hear, because I was deaf as a child," she toldin an interview. I also stopped menstruating when I had an eating disorder, so my body has been in jeopardy so many times that I've, frankly, by the age of thirty, a little bit late but better late than never, learned to treat it with lots of kindness and respect.
"I don't talk shit to myself anymore. Every time it crops up I stick up for myself the way that I would for a friend or for a stranger even," she continued."The things that women say to themselves in their head, they would never tolerate being said to someone that they love. So I've decided to be my own best friend."
