All about body positivity. This is more than overcoming; it is becoming. Wherever you are, that is someplace you can be.

Boys as well as girls are obsessed with their body image and many have low self confidence in their physical appearances as a result, according to a survey of children’s attitudes spotted by teachers in their classrooms.

“With academic and other social pressures, young people already have enough to deal with. Comparing and competing not only with their peers on looks, but with airbrushed celebrities in the media only leads to misery.”

Fear

“Fear is not a good teacher.  The lessons learned in fear are forgotten quickly.”

There has been several times during my life as a bulimic where I am crouched next to the toilet, head racing, sweating, and heart pounding, convinced that this will be the last time- because it will kill me, finally.  I do not want to die, but I am okay with it- because I won’t have to deal with this again tomorrow.

In the truly scary moments, where I am legitimately worried about my health, I am desperate to not feel this way again.  It’s not worth it; I can be better.  But once wrapped inside a disease, I am no longer equipped with the strength to shed this lifestyle- it has consumed me, swallowed me whole, and I must crawl out.  Each step closer to recovery is threatened by another binge, disappointment, anxiety attack, and overall inability to deal with my life in a consistently healthy fashion.  I cannot make choices for health since my life only allows for choices of destruction.  The fear that I grappled with the night before is quickly forgotten in the break of a new day- I return to my body, the enemy.  And I fight the good fight.  And I have forgotten the reason why I am doing this in the first place.

Hold On

I tried my best to never let you in to see the truth

And I've never opened up

I've never truly loved 'till you put your arms around me

And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go

(Arms\C. Perri)

You're worth holding onto !

watching

I wanted to die but life kept me here to see Something, Something I still haven't seen or maybe I have and couldn't slide by preoccupied Daily and beaten down, broken to you

You didn't see the scar on my spleen Death is, after all the world ending for things clean And your genius has you running tall

while I am still here waiting to see

watching you die
