The true me!

Hello everyone!
I have missed all of you so much! I am so sorry this is the first time I am writing in months. I wanted to check in, and see how everyone was doing!

Well, I finished school which is crazy! This year went by so quickly. I got a new job at a restaurant. HA i know, how ironic! And you know what! I love it. Its fun, it keeps me busy, and I don't think about food in any bad ways. I run around so much and just eat when I am hungry when I have the moment to slow down and eat while I am there! Its great!

I have been eating what I want, when I want. I feel normal. I work out when I can, but honestly, its not crazy, or even too often some weeks. It doesn't bother me. I go when I want. And I don't even feel guilty when I don't go :)

And the best part of all! I saw myself in the mirror today. The real me. Not the distorted me I have seen for 4 years. My boyfriend wants to go celebrate! I am so excited. There is a light at the end of the tunnel! Who knew!

Your post is one of the most beautiful things i have read in a long time. It fills me with joy and hope to know that you have reached a point of happiness with yourself and have found a balance with food. It is truly inspirational and a momentous occasion to celebrate.

Hi Allee!! I'm so happy for you, and you should be very proud of the hard work you have done to get to this place! Take care......HUGS..Jan ♥

Thank you everyone!!!! You have all helped me through this long journey. And to think, about just a year ago I came on here for help.

Liz- I am super happy you are doing well! Keep fighting!

Jodi- Thank you so much for you kind words. I hope you are doing well.

Allee I'm so glad you wrote on here. I don't visit the site much anymore either because it was doing more harm than good for me. Whenever I have a hard day I think of you and your strength helps pull me through. I am in a very similar place as you right now. I am enjoying my life so much and have come to the complete, comprehensive realization that I love myself just because, not for what I look like or what I have accomplished, just because I am me. I wish you the best of luck moving forward!
