In Response To: I Have An Eating Disorder (emily)

emily

I had a eating disorder when i was a teenager because i had no control of my life and what was going on and controlling my body was all i had, Your parents divorce i am sure put alot of pressure on you, but physical appearence is not who you are the person inside is. there is so much pressure out there to be perfect, there is no perfect!!! There is only happiness within yourself, You are young, your body is going through its normal changes, Food is not the issue in most cases, for me it just took time and the realization that you can NOT make everyone happy
whether it be with you or some other issue!!
The future is always better than the moment we are in, don't let an eating disorder reck that!!!
