I've had what seems like a million people ask me about my weight here lately.
Admittedly, I have gained about 3 to 5 pounds but I didn't know that would classify me as "chunky" as one girl put it.
What half of them don't know is I'm a recovering anorexic. Yes, it's been three years since I technically had it, but anorexia is in you, it never goes away and it's always right beneath the surface.
I've been tempted a lot over the past month to do it.
"I'm just going to skip one meal. I mean, come on, it's just one meal." But oh how well do I know that that "one meal" soon turns into all three meals. It's easier to so my urges now. I have Amanda, my best friend who suffered from both anorexia and bulimia. She reminds me that I'm better than this disease. And that's truly what it is; a disease.
But with encouragement, people I love, and POSITIVE comments; I can overcome this once again.

i really cannot believe some girl went out of her way to call you chunky. that breaks my heart because of what you've been through and that fact that you're beautiful just as you are. i'm jealous of everything about you. so keep that in mind when it comes to rude people that have something to say about your weight. <3
