It’s is #nationaleatingdisorderawarenessweek ...I’ve been having a rough couple of well years really and it wasn’t until this year that I started to chip it away to realize I want to start loving myself. I had an eating disorder all throughout high school and a little after. I was a pudgy kid and then had some meat on my bones in middle school while all the other girls were very thin and the “role models” were stick thin models. I was made fun of and teased my whole life up until I took the drastic measures and I did it all the wrong way. I kept a food diary, counted how many times I chewed my food, I starved myself, some days I only ate a plain salad or some oatmeal and then other days I was passing out and waking up with paramedics. This was no way to live but i had an image to uphold and refused to be made fun of. Now I see, it is so important to spread love and not hate. I don’t want any little girl to ever go thru such self loathing or the criticism from individuals. It is very hard because the world is truly is very cruel and judgmental. So we must push for self love and self acceptance we must stop the bullying and all the hate. Because as you can see it has drastic consequences. I have been a size 3 (top right) I have been a size 22 (bottom right) and I am currently a size 14 (left). It is 2019 and being a size 14 is just now acceptable and being applauded with curvy role models such as @ashleygraham and @nickiminaj ,thank you so much you beautiful souls! Of course there are things I would love to change because that’s the world we live in, it will never be enough or we will never be fully happy. I am now 28 years young and finally not calling myself fat every day, I am battling every day to not look in the mirror and say negative things instead I try to find things I love. It has taken me 28 years to just be “okay” with myself and I am working every day more and more to self love and confidence. Please spread love and not hate. Compliment someone rather than laugh at them behind their backs. Encourage someone rather than bring them down. Thank you for everyone who has aided me a long the way I love you all #loveyourself #curvygirl #spreadlove
