As seventh grade went on, my confidence was slowly shattered. My best friend was so cute and desirable, and I felt like the girl standing back in the shadows. Toward the end of the year, my best friend and I got a third best friend. She is still one of the most stunning girls I have ever seen, and was so small and cute.
In later elementary school, we watched a video about eating disorders. I made a promise to myself that I would never develop one. I also made a promise to myself that I would enter 7th grade thin. Neither promise was kept.
A lot of people on this website have opened up about their eating disorders and the damage it has done. I believe it is important to get the stories out there, and feel obligated to tell mine.
