I spent years thinking these were the things that mattered, the things that defined my worth. However, I’ve realized that they were just the things that made me feel in control. I felt a sense of calm when I held power over what I ate and how I looked, but power doesn’t come from my body or appearance. It comes from who I am and the impact that I have on others. The control I felt during my ED was a facade, but the love I’ve felt since being open about my struggles is very very real (and it has nothing to do with my body) 🫶🫶 #bodyimage #runner
