A Letter To My Eating Disorder (2)

Even though I was starving, I took a grape because that would fill me up, right? Drinking that water made me feel bloated, so I refused to drink it because who wants to feel bloated? Not only have you played with my mentality like it was nothing, but you have caused me physical misery, too. I have passed out because of you and suffered multiple issues that soon became tolerant to me. I could live with these, right? Forbid, I gain 1/10 of a pound!

Like I said, you are nothing to me now. You are going to leave my life. I am not saying that it is going to be easy, but it will be a gradual process because I don’t need your negativity. I am going to go back to the role model I used to be to other girls about body image. This is no longer going to be a defense mechanism because right now, I am facing you, and I am going to fight you. You will no longer watch me suffer, and most importantly, I am no longer going to watch me suffer.

I can say this a million times because I know that this will be difficult, but it is time you leave my body and my mind. You have defeated me, and now, I am going to defeat you.

Sincerely,

The Girl Who Will Overcome This
