This is me. All 183 pounds of me. I know it’s too much for my frame, but I’m working on it. Right now, this is who I am. My name is Sarah and I am 20 years old. For the first half of my life, I was the “skinny” girl. The “tiny” girl. The one that parents worried about. I was gonna break, I was too small. Then, at age 11, I stopped eating. Not because I wanted to be skinnier or anything. I just didn’t feel hungry for two months. I ended up in the hospital, and so many people told me to just eat. Eat or you’ll get sick and die. So that’s what I did. And for the second half of my life thus far, I’ve been the “fat” girl. The girl who needs to lose weight. The girl with a million stretch marks in all sorts of places. The girl who can’t seem to stop gaining weight. But that’s who I am. I am me. I can’t be anyone else, so I need to learn to love me. And you know what? That’s what I am going to start doing. I am in therapy at this absolutely wonderful place called The Emily Program. It’s a center for people with eating disorders. Because you know what? You don’t have to be skinny to have an eating disorder. I have what is called EDNOS (eating disorder not otherwise specified). That can mean basically anything. For me, it’s an obsession with the number 43, which is how many pounds I should lose. It’s the fact that I can’t go a day without thinking about how I wish I was someone else, or at least had someone else’s body. It’s the fact that my life revolves around my weight and losing weight and being skinnier, even though I don’t do anything about it. I still have a long way to go. But the fact that I can post this here and show the world who I am is a good step in the right direction. I can be beautiful at any size. That’s what I need to keep telling myself. This is the body I have. This is the body I need to learn to live with. It’s easier to love something than to hate it. That is what I need to understand. Because you know what? I have really expressive eyes. I have a flawless complexion. My hair is a nice color. I have strong calves, and pretty feet. My beauty is not measured by a number on a scale. http://www.pikapup.tumblr.com BE BRAVE! JOIN THE BODY PEACE REVOLUTION!
