WOW, this hit home with me, i would like to share my story... i was a teeneager with a eating disorder and it stemed from being sexaully molested as a child, but it was also from 'fitting" in with my peers. i have always had what you would call a ok face, but my body was chubby. i tryed out for our high schools dance team and successed , i was a dancer. but they told me that i had to lose 25 pounds. man, i thought ,thats a lot, im not that overweight. but, i di, i used fluid pills laxitives, literal starvation. the damage i have done to my body in unreal, all to be liked and loved by my peers. it has taken years and years of therapy, and self- help to get me to where i am today. i am now teacing my daughter of the importance of good nutrition. for is it really worth it to look so good that it kills, and why do it, for you will not live to see anything.. thank you for this posts, i really don't think that we talk about it like we should. eating disorders are at the highest, movie stars, down to plain old people.. we must learn to be content with the body that God has so blessed us with!! we are always beautiful in his eyes. we must love ourselves before we can truly love others, and i do LOVE the way i look down, i may have stretch marks, but my kids are worth every single one!!!
