if anyone wants to be pen pals, needs someone to talk to, or a new friend.. i’m right here
why recover?
because temporary relief is not worth the long term battle you’re setting yourself up for
because one day you’ll be grateful that you tried to recover now rather than waiting and getting much worse
because the advice you give your family and friends also applies to yourself
because constant lies, fake smiles, and sadness is no way to live
because despite what you keep telling yourself, you are still young and there is still time to do the things you regret not doing
because sobbing on your bedroom floor is not fun
because there is something out there that will motivate you and fulfill you, you just haven’t found it yet
because you are loved, you are enough and you are worth it
because there is more to life than your disorders.
What recovery got me
•looking in the mirror without crying.
•eating with no regrets.
•going shopping without getting down about who I am and how I look.
•letting go of the number on the scale.
•desserts.
•doing the opposite of what the disorder says.
•that I should be mad at other people and not on myself.
•scars are meant to heal!
•bikini body = body with a bikini!
the people you see/talk to on the internet don’t determine your worth. your pant size doesn’t determine your worth. the number of people following you doesn’t determine your worth. your weight does not. determine. your. worth. #YOUAREWORTHIT
remember– you are not everything the media says you are.

although i don’t entirely agree, since i’ve recovered all on my own, this is something to consider when you realize you or someone you know needs to recover.

Every body is different. Some digest food faster. Some slower. You are not ‘fat’. You are you. Don’t let anyone call you fat. Tell them, you have a name. Please eat. Don’t throw it up. You are important. And worth so much. And if you want to change your body, work out. But, do it for you.
