Letter to an Eating Disorder
I’m finally ready to take a stand and say goodbye.
I’m sick of you making me feel bad about myself, so I will turn to you for support.
I’m finally ready to see myself as beautiful, no matter what you tell me.
I don’t need you to be happy or satisfied or entertained or comforted. I have myself, friends, family and God.
I don’t need you and I don’t want you because you trick me into thinking I will be happy once I have enough….but it’s never enough. Not until I’m sick, and I hate myself because of what I’ve done.
But it’s not me – it’s you.
And it won’t be anymore.
Because I’m taking back my health, my emotions, my sanity! I deserve to treat myself better than the way I am with you.
My body is a temple, and I’m going to act like it. You’re not breaking me down ever again.
