Then vs. Now

Ten years can make a big difference. The picture on the left is me at the worst point of my eating disorder, I weighed 105 pounds. I was obsessively working out for hours a day and really restricting my calories. Luckily my parents got me the help that I needed and I got back to a healthy body weight.

The picture on the right is a recent picture, I weigh 135 pounds. No one would ever guess that I am recovering from an eating disorder based on this picture because I am a healthy body weight. I might have recovered physically, but I haven't recovered mentally. I am working to free myself of eating disorder thoughts and behaviors.  In this blog I will tell you some strategies that have helped me and continue to share my story.
