But back to the ways in which you are amazing… You are here. That may seem like a silly, simplistic answer you don’t think makes you amazing at all. But it does. Think about all the things you’ve faced in your life so far. Think about all the journeys, the hardships, the struggles, the pain. Then give yourself some credit for surviving it all. I bet it wasn’t easy. Yet here you are. So that’s pretty amazing.

Celebrate that this week. It’s Eating Disorder Awareness Week. And I’m aware of you. Yes, you! You’ve made it this far. You’re fighting. That’s amazing. Or you’ve fought your way through and are doing well. That’s amazing. Are you condemning yourself right now? Are you disappointed? Are you saying it’s no big deal? Stop that way of thinking. Stop arguing with these words. In a nutshell, all I’m saying is that YOU ARE HERE. And that’s cool. So why put energy into discrediting that?
