TW: Eating Disorder
My name is Kassidy. This is a photo I’ve never shared til now. I took it while I was in one of my hospital stays. It’s frightening to think at the time I thought I was fat. I was weak, and hopeless. I hated myself. And had convinced myself that healthy was ugly. Now, 2 years, 40 pounds later. I AM healthy. And happier than ever. I have my bad days, like anyone, but my eating disorder barely plays even the smallest, teeniest role in my life anymore. I can eat without guilt, I can have fun while I go shopping, and I couldnt give a fuck less about sizes or calories, because I’ve made the choice to be happy and live life to the fullest. Fighting to get to this point wasnt easy. But, it’s been SO SO worth it. I wish to spread hope I want people to know how WORTHWHILE recovery really is. I honestly love myself more than I EVER have! And there are wonderful times where lately i can look into a mirror and say “DAMN, SHE’S HOT!” and MEAN IT! I never in a million years thought I could say that, with a straight face! But it’s possible. Never give up. And remember you’re beautiful <3
