I...

I believe that recovery is worth it and that there is a beautiful life beyond your eating disorder. I believe you should stop “wasting 95% of your life to weigh 5% less.”

I go to the gym and I push myself to my limits. I also take days for myself where the most I do is drive to and sit by the seawall.

I genuinely enjoy salads and cooking. I also love a good M&M McFlurry and ordering takeout.

I get my nails and eyelashes done. I also rock a real messy bun, have break outs and walk around with no make up on.

I don't think it's all or nothing. I don't think you need to choose to label yourself as one or the other.

I think you should stop underestimating yourself. I think you’re more than that. I think you truly can have and be it all.

I believe in taking care of yourself physically, mentally and emotionally, however you need to. I believe in health and beauty, but I also believe that those two words mean something different to everyone.

I believe you have a lot more layers to you than you recognize. I believe you are stronger than this and that you WILL find a balance.

I believe that recovery is worth it and that there is a beautiful life beyond your eating disorder. I believe you should stop “wasting 95% of your life to weigh 5% less.”

Above all else, I believe that what you look like, is and always will be, the least interesting thing about you
