To Those Who Have Suffered Any Eating Disorder..
This is my story.
I hope it inspires you.
It started when I was 15. Anything I ate wanted to come back up. And it came from my painful need to be beautiful and loved and look like the other girls that I was surrounded by.
But the thing was, I wasn't overweight to begin with.
I purged after my meals, and it was awful. I hated doing it but I didn't stop, for whatever reason.
This went on for a year.
A year isn't long compared to most people who suffer for this for 5 years and even longer, but it was long enough for me. I could feel what it was doing to be and I realized how awful it was. I spoke to my mother and father who is a doctor.
They were disappointed, like I knew they would be, but were happy I told them. I began talking to people who recovered bulimia and I knew I could do it. It was hard, but I did it. It has now been 8 months since I have purged, as I have not since June, and it feels wonderful.
You don't need to starve yourself, or vomit to make yourself beautiful. You are beautiful. We all are. We all have these incredible bodies that keep us warm and safe, and we need to start thanking it by treating it the way it deserves to be treated.
So all in all, if I can do it, so can you. The road to recovery is hard, but once you get there, there is no better high.
IF YOU EVER NEED TO TALK, I AM HERE. I WILL NEVER JUDGE YOU OR TURN A BLIND EYE. JUST REMEMBER THAT.
