I lost more than just weight.

I lost relationships, I lost my clothing, I lost my mind, I lost my ability, I lost my health, I lost my happiness, I lost my body,

I lost myself.

I am gaining back clothes, I am gaining back skill, I am gaining back knowledge, I am gaining back a future, I am gaining back happiness, I am gaining back my body, I am gaining confidence,

I am gaining back my life.

2016 has proven to be a very difficult year for me and challenging. I did not know my self worth and did not know who i was... Today i turn 21 and i feel empowered to get through this year, to move forward and find myself and love who i am and all that i will become. I want to be a better person and I'm making the necessary changes to do so. Social media perspectives have influenced how i feel about my self and my physical appearance and i have come to realise only i can define myself and *ONLY* i can complete myself. I want every girl, boy - person to know that you are not alone and you're worthy of love and light. This journey is difficult but you will get through it and know that i am here for all of you.💖 Happy birthday to me 😌🎈

things to remember:

- there is nothing shameful about being hungry (even when your mind tells you you “shouldn’t” be) - there is nothing shameful about listening to your body (even if it feels like you are doing something wrong) - do not compare what your body needs to what other people are eating, they are not you - you always have permission to eat more

I was a college drop-out with a 0.9 GPA who lost a scholarship and took seven years to graduate after going to two community colleges. It doesn’t matter how long it takes, everyone blooms differently. Setbacks are not failures and you are more than yesterday. Own your mistakes, quit the inner-loop of shaming in your head, smile big, move on.
