so i have been in recovery for about 8 months. as of right now a handful of people actually know that i struggle with an eating disorder. in fact, the main people are the staff and administration at my school and a few close friends. i go to a really small school, 200 people actually attend it. this upcoming week i am getting in front of my whole school in chapel and i am going to share my testimony. i am going to be sharing about my eating disorder and how i have grown because of it and all that jazz. i am a bit freaked out, but in all honesty, i can't wait. after this happens i believe that people will understand and be able to accept the reason why i do certain things or why i do not do certain things. its hard when girls come up to me and say "oh my you are SO skinny! you are super pretty!" or "you should work out with us more" or talk about my weight. they do not know so i cannot condemn them, but it still hurts. this way, not only will i gain accountability (literally a whole school) but i will also be able to share what will help me grow and show people that i am not that different and that ED's are real but you can begin to change. i think this will be a major growing point in my life.
wish me luck!
