Doing Better Now
I had an eating disorder for two years, though I no longer do. During this time, I was in a really terrible friend group. None of them seemed to trust me at all and wouldn’t tell me anything.
One day, a boy named Jake who I was talking to asked me out and I said yes—only it turns out one of them liked him. Again, I didn’t know this as these people never confided anything to me.
I walk up to them one day and I hear one say, “You know Jake deserved better, not a fat whale like her. At this point, she deserves to starve, tell her to keep up the good work.” Words can’t describe how sad I felt and it took a lot to get over.
I’m much better now and even though that was two years ago, I look back and the past me and the current me, and I couldn’t be more proud of myself.
