Me.

Oh yeah. And here's my favorite senior picture showing how happy my life is currently.

9/18/14

Thinking back on treatment and how much it has changed my life. Since I moved out of my parents house I've been doing great. ED is not in my head hardly at all. All the fear of being alone and turning back to my behaviors is gone. Eating is just a normal thing here at college. I ran into a friend from treatment and school yesterday and seeing her reminded me of how much we go through to get to where we are supposed to be. Although my eating disorder ruined part of me, it made me. My values and beliefs are based off of it. I can't express how grateful I am for trials and how they can strengthen us. Life is worth living. This I know is true.

EXTREMES

Nothing like this should exist. I believe that no one should ever feel like this. No matter what hair color, eye color, weight, height, body type. There was a time in my life where I did feel like this. Anyone with an eating disorder can relate. They would go to extremes, do anything, to feel like they are good enough in others' eyes. I hope that in the future there will be a day where no one thinks like this. I hope that no one ever has to feel like they have to go to these extremes to fit in. I hope that someday the world can be a place where little girls can look in the mirror and love what they see. This picture is my worst nightmare. It's morbid and horrible. Nothing like this should exist.
