My story can be interpreted as a sign of weakness or a sign of strength, but I strive to inspire others and improve the world in any way I can, so I don\u2019t mind opening up to share it. What I have gone through has made me who I am today.<\/p>\n

Ever since I can remember, I\u2019ve felt like I live in a negative, critical, depressive environment, like I\u2019m never good enough, and can\u2019t ever do anything right. My mother and I haven\u2019t ever gotten along very well, and my little sister was the focus of attention. After my parents divorced, I felt like I was left out, living with my mom and sister and their tight bond.<\/p>\n

Because of feeling like I\u2019m good enough, being left out and ignored, being criticized about almost everything, and feeling brought down by everyone around me, I was always a perfectionist and high stressed person.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Skip ahead to 8th grade, where I found a new passion: cheerleading. Joining the team had positive and negative effects. I was involved in something non-academic, but I still never felt good enough. I was a little bit chubby, as kids seem to be before they hit their major growth spurt, but I felt like that was part of my problem.<\/p>\n

I started dieting, healthfully at first, but after reaching a healthy goal weight at the end of 9th grade, I started taking my weight way too seriously. Whenever I felt criticized, not good enough, or had feelings I didn\u2019t want to feel, I would restrict what I eat and exercise to the point of pain. But even as the number on the scale scale kept going lower and lower. I needed help, but I felt too trapped. My anorexia went on for over a year before anyone around me caught on and dragged me in for serious help. Even with professional help, I still continued my destructive behaviors for several months.<\/p>\n

My turning point of finally deciding to help myself occurred just over a year ago. I had a weigh-in before my 10th grade academic award ceremony. I didn\u2019t make it to the ceremony, because I was stuck in Albany Medical Center. That day was the scariest day of my life, but without it, I may not be alive today.<\/p>\n

Deciding to get better was still an uphill battle. In a year, I experienced all of my shoved-down emotions, learned some positive coping skills after using some not-so-great ones, unwillingly gained quite a bit of weight, and became very aware of how much I didn\u2019t like my home and life situation. But the biggest surprise for me was: It got better.<\/p>\n

I became stronger, and distanced myself from those who weren\u2019t good for me. I found new role models, positive people who I didn\u2019t know existed. I started looking forward to the freedom of my life, the one thing that I had full control over.<\/p>\n

Now, my story may give you the impression that \u201cShe\u2019s just a crazy, unstable girl who deals with family problems like everyone does. She\u2019s going to have stress problems come back in college.\u201d<\/p>\n

I can assure you, I\u2019m miles away from where I was in my eating disorder. That time in my life was terrible, and I know that I CANNOT ever let myself go back. And I won\u2019t. I\u2019ve accumulated so much strength, freedom, hope, and happiness that I would never want to go back.<\/p>\n

I know I\u2019m not perfect, but who is? I try my best, and every day, I\u2019m still getting better. I get stronger. I gain hope. I pursue my passions. I inspire others and become inspired. I go on adventures and try new things. I learn. I smile. I move forward. I live.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
