I Used To Be Anorexic

I started when I was a little girl. My family saying things to me like “I’m going to fatten you up”, was just the beginning. I was never over weight. The more people talked about how skinny I was and that I needed to eat, the more afraid of gaining I had become. My fears, my thoughts and my behaviors are what led me to anorexia. I suffered with this disease for many years. All the way through my adulthood. The lowest I weighed was 85lbs. I was miserable.

Now I am 8 years, completely free from anorexia. I look and feel good. I am healthier and happier. I was recovering with my first baby. Fully recovered with my second baby. I think my kids have to do with me not ever wanting to go back. I don’t even think about it.
