This is my experience with my eating disorder. When I was in elementary school, I was very under weight. I was about 45 pounds and didn't eat much. My parents started to get really worried so they have me meal supplements such as "carnation" or "boost". This made me gain weight exponentially. When I was in 4th grade, I started to depend only on those meal supplements so my parents stopped giving them to me. I was old enough to force myself to eat. So I ate, and ate, and ate some more. In 5th grade, I was pushing 200 pounds. I was very self conscious about my body and was teased a lot for being over weight. This continued through 6th grade. My parents were getting very worried about me and were running out of ideas to help me lose weight. One day, my school's track coach emailed me and wanted to know if I was interested in running track that spring. I could barely run a lap around the school gym without falling over and dying. But I pressed on and tried out for the team. Sure enough, I made the cut! I was so happy! This was my biggest step in losing weight. I lost 50 pounds in the first year of running. I was so happy that I wasn't fat anymore! 8th grade, my dad wanted me to run cross-country. I was very hesitant on running cross-country because I was used to only running a few laps around a track, let alone 3.1 miles on trails! I eventually was bribed into running. This was the best decision of my life. I was losing weight, but most importantly I was eating healthier and making better choices for my body. I lost a total of 110 pounds from 6th grade to 12th grade. I am eating healthier and making healthier choices! So this is my experience with my eating disorder. And this is a picture of me right now! I'm so proud of what I accomplished! I hope to reach out to people who were/are in similar situations as me in hopes of helping them become more confident with their body!
