for the ones who got an ed in their developmental teenage years, and now that they're adults it makes them freak out that their weight is 'the highest it has ever been'—
i promise you that your body is much different from the one you remember from when you were staring at the mirror, at the ripe age of 14, feeling ashamed, tears running down your face. as a teenager you couldn't do too many things, go in too many places or live truly how you've wanted to live. now, as an adult, your possibilities are endless. you can go anywhere, buy whatever you want, be anyone, but most importantly be yourself- in a much wider sense than these years ago. your body had to change to be able to manage handling all these possibilities that were about to open for you. your body is different, but it's not worse. quite frankly it's better than it has ever been- you're probably getting to know yourself better now. going places. laughing. crying. forming the beautiful individual that would look at you now in the mirror and say "hey, kid. you moved out from your parents. you've found real friends. you came back to a hobby you thought you were tragic at. you earn your own money. you're finding yourself. your life is only now beginning".
