Yes, Love.

This made me cry…

My mom suffered from bulimia most of her life. My junior year of high school she was hospitalized because it got so bad. She weighed 103 at 5'6. She never explained to my sister and I, at how bad it was until they made her inpatient. She just said she’s going to a place where “she can get help”. She’s also a recovering addict so I assumed it was that. I didn’t see her for 2 months and we would visit every weekend when she was there. I still remember the day we all sat on the grass in front on a blanket and she finally told us why she was there. I was 17. Now I am 23 and years later I had a college course on nutrition. I watched a video of women struggling to keep weight on and having various eating disorders. I couldn’t sit through the movie because it hurt so bad to watch them struggle. I’m reblogging this because it isn’t always the person with the eating disorder that suffers. She hasn’t purged since 2008. I just want you all to know you can get through this and love yourself. Please know you’re worth so much more than you think you are. I swear and I promise, you will get through this. Don’t give up!

I had been bullied into an eating disorder to the point that I was in a hospital with a feeding tube down my throat. Watch out what you tell people guys because of my eating disorder I have a lot of stomach and digestion problems and can barely eat now whether I want to or not. It’s terrifying, but for those fighting one now don’t give up, things get better

This post gets better each time I check it

I was hospitalized over a year ago after being diagnosed with anorexia. Today I thought about letting myself relapse because I felt like no one else understood what it was like for someone battling an eating disorder… I thought only people with eating disorders understood. That comment, coming from the girl whose mother had bulimia, just changing my plans. Thank you. 507 days free from Ana.
