Eating Disorder Awareness Month

who wants that small of a head?!

in case you didn't know already, February is Eating Disorder Awareness month.

I, of course, wait until Leap Day to post about this, but also it's not the easiest/most comfortable thing for me to talk about.

disordered eating has been something I've struggled with, and is still something that I still struggle from time to time now.

 it takes a lot of hard work to break out from the disordered eating, but it was so easy to fall into.

so please remember that healthy is beautiful.

and being skinny will not determine your happiness.

in fact, when I was my skinniest and at my worst with disordered eating,

 I was hands down the least happy I have ever been in my life.

and I've learned that I'd rather be happy.

plus, disordered eating wrecks havoc on your heart.

it stresses it out BIG time.

and at the time, it's easy to tell yourself it's fine and not a big deal....

but with all my heart problems recently, 

I can't help but wonder if the choices I made with disordered eating are the cause,

and that's something I have to live with.

so please choose to be happy and healthy! 

it truly is so much easier.
