Thank you for sharing your story. It's important for men and women to hear what your experience was like. It is so foreign to me but I know its not for a lot of others.
I've actually thought a lot about I think it was the 2nd post of the series where you talked about the frat guys rejecting the girls that were bigger from going into a party. As my son is getting older and starting to talk to girls I am trying to make sure he is not a part of that toxic culture and never treats another person like that.
Matt, this reply will stick with me. THIS is the reason I write. Thank you for paying attention, educating yourself, and being intentional with how you raise your son. We need more men like you and him!! He is lucky to have you!
Body shame is real anorexia was my demon in college I even passed out on stage during a rehearsal speed and diet soda was my go to thank god i made it through thank you for sharing
Thank you, Kim. This one was hard to write. I would start and stop and cry and start and stop and cry again lol. Glad I made it through and thankful for those who are reading! ❤️
This means so much to me. I truly hope so. There’s so much shame tied to this issue, but if even one person reads this and realizes they can break free from the pattern, it’s worth it.
Thank you so much for reading, Lise. This one took me much longer to write—it was far more painful. My body aches for the girl I was. Learning to be compassionate toward my younger self instead of judgmental is a challenge, but I’m trying. Thank you for this comment!! ❤️
Thank you for sharing Sarah-Frances! I went through a similar experience after gaining 15 pounds my freshman year and it’s so hard :( hope you’re healing!
There's so much that's eerily familiar in your stories from college, even though my eating struggles didn't happen until years past college. Thank you for sharing in such beautiful detail, I can only imagine this is making a lot of people who are struggling feel seen and somehow, silently heard. I'm going to re-post, I'm sure some of my subscribers & followers can relate.
So hooked to this story. So painfully relatable. Thank you for sharing <3
Thank you for reading, Victoria. Our scars bring us closer to people ❤️
