as a toddler they showed me pictures of disney princesses with waists the size of the quarters and said isn’t she beautiful ?
in elementary school they put everyone on the line and said the number of beeps you made it to in the pacer was a measure of your grade, worth, and health
in middle school they gave us each 10 m&ms and then we went on a walk, counting the steps until we’d walked far enough to burn them off
in high school my running coaches gave us a number that was the ideal weight for runners and worked harder for the girls that hit that number
in college i would come home to grandparents praising how much weight i’d lost and fondly calling me tiny
and then they all turn around and ask me why are you like this? why can’t you stop thinking about this? why are you so obsessed?
do you think this is beautiful?
no. but you told me it was

i love this community but you know what i really love? when people leave. when they say "i'm out, i want to recover." it brings me peace knowing that someone might just be okay, and hope that the rest of us might follow in their footsteps.
so if you're leaving, here's to you.
if you're not ready to leave, here's to you too.
and remember, wherever you are in your journey, you deserve to recover and be happy.

i think the scariest thing about eating disorders is the way they convince you that you are in control during your downward spirals but out of control when you’re taking care of yourself
