## Caption

85lbs ➡️130lbs.
Sick. Obsessed with shrinking and disappearing. I thought I deserved to make my body look how I felt: small, wasting, weak, undeserving.
_
It takes courage to grow. But the hardest part is looking at the darkest parts of yourself and coming to terms with the need to change.
_
I hope you too learn to value yourself and your body. I hope you too quit doing the things to hurt yourself, trying to disappear, and learn to say I DESERVE to be here and I’m not fucking going anywhere.
_
Check on your strong friends. Men’s mental health matters, women’s mental health matters, EVERYONE’S mental health MATTERS .
