⚠️TRIGGER WARNING⚠️ Something I have failed to talk openly about on my platforms, is my past with eating disorders. The first time I dealt with anorexia and bulimia I was 12. TWELVE YEARS OLD. Our society creates this image of what girls and women should look like. Tall, slender, muscular but not masculine, big butt and boobs but also a flat stomach, thick thighs but not thick calves. My past two long term relationships were centered around my looks and how I could improve. I was never good enough, never thin enough, never enough. I dreamed of being a model ever since I was little but it always seemed as just that, a dream. Fast forward to now. In 2022, body positivity and acceptance is on the rise and more women are loving themselves as they are. I’m learning to take care of my body and lose weight in a healthy way/pace. No more starving myself, no more snapping rubber bands or hurting myself to avoid cravings, no more chewing food and spitting it out to just get a taste. When I think about coming out of such a dark decade, I think about all of the others still fighting. Eating disorders are serious and can lead to serious health complications and even death. Anyone struggling with loving themselves, I hear you, I feel you, I’ve been there and sometimes still am. My DMs are always open if you need a friend. #selflove #weightlossjourney #weightloss #weightgain #weightgainjourney #eatingdisorderrecovery #eatingdisorderawareness #eatingdisordersurvivor #survivor #survival #loveyourself
