I've learned a lot in the past few months about life lessons. Loyalty is the biggest one. Eating Disorders are very hard to deal with for you and the people you are close with. I have lost multiple people due to my eating disorder, and it can feel like the only thing there for you is your ED. Your real friends will always be there for you and help you through your struggles, and you should do the same for them. Loyalty is the word I stand by the most. I have also learned that I need to appreciate myself and my body for how it is. Honestly, I still believe I'm ugly and that I don't deserve to eat, but I've also learned it takes a long time. Your eating disorder won't go away that quick. I've always had a voice in my head telling me I was fat and didn't deserve to eat since I was 7. Only until a couple of months ago, I believed and listened to it.
Whoever is reading this, I want you to know that you are perfect just the way you are. I know you might not believe me right now, but I hope you will one day. You are unique, you deserve to be here, and you deserve to eat. If you need anything or need anyone to talk to please talk to me. I'm always here.
