#Repost @copingthroughquotes (@get_repost) ・・・ Today I walked in the Chicago @neda walk. Today I walked with hundreds of fighters and support people. Today I walked because I believe that recovery from an eating disorder is possible. I walked for hope. . . I post this picture because I'm not gonna lie, I've been struggling to fight recently. The fight has been heavy and I've been feeling knocked down more than I've been climbing up. Today reminded me of why I keep getting back up. . . We all have to hustle for something in our lives. Today I walked because I believe in hope. I'm #hustlingtillithappens because I don't want to be a statistic. I'm hustling because I believe in that hope. @eatingrecovery thank you for helping me to get back up when I'm knocked down; you give me a safe place to hustle, hope that recovery is possible, and a team to help support me in the hustle. #eatingdisorderrecovery #edrecovery #NEDAwalk #eatingrecoverycenter #copingthroughquotes

Today was the 2nd annual NEDA walk in Amherst and I had a great time! I got to talk to amazing people there was a large turnout, and I got some cool goodies (some of which are pictured). Thank you again for everyone who donated, and if you wanna donate last minute it’s still open I believe. But just thank you again for all of your support! #neda #nedawalk #recoveryispossible #mentalhealthawareness https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo7W9iHFaZu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1q066s43qnlx6

A little rain and cold won't stop us from fighting our battle. 💚💙 #WhyINEDAWalk @neda #nedawalk #nedawareness #hartfordnedawalk [Stefanie is wearing a NEDA shirt over her rain jacket because it was cold and rainy and is holding a sign that says "I walk for the 40-60% of elementary aged girls who are concerned about their weight."] (at Central Connecticut State University) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo4Wg5-lr2O/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2r0w9n6gp8r2

My final announcement before tomorrow’s NEDA walk. If you just now saw this or maybe you were waiting to the last minute (no judgement, I do that all the time), clicking the link in my bio will send you to a page were you can read about eating disorders, my personal connection to them, and how NEDA and you can help people recover from them. I believe the fundraiser closes tomorrow at midnight so you have two days left to help out in this one fundraiser. BUT remember that NEDA takes help all year round and consider giving your time to them in the future as well. Thank you so much to everyone who has helped in the last month, it means so much to me! #neda #nedawalk #nedawalk2018 #eatingdisoderrecovery #recoveryispossible #fundraising https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo4NC9Tlr7_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2ib6jodc41p2

My eating disorder will always be a part of my story but it will never be the end; I believe in you. #nedawalk #neda #recovery #edrecovery (at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoW4qBih2cU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ujye58zvvjt4

It really is something to experience something like an eating disorder/mental illness and feel like you are alone just to find such a big community of people ready to open their arms to you and help. It means the world really. Here’s another reminder that I am running a fundraiser for NEDA and you can look into it and help by clicking the link in my bio. If you can help, even in the slightest, this organization that helps hundreds feel like they aren’t alone it would be awesome. Thank you so much! #neda #nedawalk #nedawalk2018 #eatingdisoderrecovery #recoveryispossible #fundraising https://www.instagram.com/p/BoUsGODFfdh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1f5spjmi5wyf2

But you can help today! If you click the link in my bio you can donate to NEDA (the National Eating Disorder Association) and help them continue their work in education, support, and recovery assistance. I am running this fundraiser as a participant in one of their walks but just looking into NEDA you’ll find you can help all year round. They do amazing work so please consider taking some time to research them.
