MY STORY

I will be telling my story and recovery of how Ive dealt with and found out I've had a eating disorder called Anorexia Nervosa.

In 2020 in the month of January , I've came across a lot of images on social media

where I wanted my body image to look the same as the pictures I've came acossed. I started by over exercising everyday for 3 or more hours with cardio as well . This mightve seem normal too many people but I got so used to how that made me feel and caused me too count my calories. I would only consume 300 calories a day or less, and eat 1 meal a day.

I would do this everyday until one day I got really pale and my bones started showing a lot, it was to the point where my family was pointing it out.

I felt very dissy everyday and very fatigue, this made my mom take me to the doctor because she was exrtemly worried about me.

It was Feburary the 13th, Ive arrived to the doctors and 2 months before this previous date I've weighted 115 pounds. When I went on the scale I was down to only weighing 84 pounds. My doctors were in shock & worried about me after looking at my weight record and proceeded to take a blood test, the result of my blood test was really uncommon for someone to be my age.

It was very uncommon for a young person to loose that many pounds in less than 2 months, so then I was exerted to the hospital.

I was really nervous because i knew it got serious, the hospital also took mutliple blood test and proceeded to sign me up to a program.

In March, I was signed up for a eating therapy program. It opened my eyes so much and ever since I've been gaining healthy weight. I feel so much stronger and happier, I dont feel weak anymore and Ive been creating more hobbies in my life ever since. An advice I would give to any one experiencing what Ive experienced is, enjoy yourself and don't compare yourself too anyone.
