Location: medford | because i won't make it through school. without school i won't have a decent education. without a decent education i won't have a career. not having a career leads to not having a family... and that's devastating. |

Location: UK | I'm recovering because one day i would love to have a family, and am desperately hoping that my struggle with Anorexia has not taken away that chance. I want to see the look on my partner's face when he sees that actually, now, i am genuinely okay.
Also, im recovering because i've seen (and known) how eating disorders can ruin lives, and want to live to spread the message that they can be beaten!

Location: vancouver, bc, canada | i just want freedom from this obsession so bad it hurts. I am sick and tired of no energy, counting constantly, making excuses at meal times, lying to friends, keeping secrets, reaching for happiness and never reaching it no matter what i weigh. i just want to be happy in my own skin. i want to be able to go out with friends and order something other than just coffee or whatever. i want to be able to eat when im hungry with no guilt and stoip when im full and know the difference. i want to love myself from within one day so the outside doesnt matter so long as im healthy and taking proper care of myself. I want true freedom. This is why im striving to recover. |

| I wouldn't have reached out for help if my family didn't push me, so in a way, i'm grateful for their pressure.
I want to get better for them, to rid them of any blame or guilt and worry. Them, above me, right to the end. |

Location: London | i want to be rid of the numbers , to be able to eat what i want (not the low calorie , tasteless CRAP!) , to be focused and not have a constant voice in my head, to be able to engage in conversations , to feel worthy , to love my body , to be free of this voice controlling everything i do , to be happy , to have a social life , to be positive and not have these huge emotional swings, to be free of anxiety and guilt , to live , to be able to focus on the task at hand and not be distracted , to take an interest in the things around me , to feel comfortable in my own body , to thank all of those who have supported me throughout this time , to feel normal , to be ME!
aahhhhh :) that felt good ! |

| for my sister who is currently struggling with her own eating disorder. i'm her big sister and i have to set the example, not be the example of how to fail and die. for the rest of my family who has helped me through the worst of times. and for myself, because i think i have something to offer the world if i can just keep myself away from the vicious cycle of being sick. |
