To anyone with eating issues:

Good luck to all of you on your roads to recovery... A lot of people out there still think that eating disorders are all about food, but all of us here know that it's so much more than that, that it's also about the self-image and the confidence. What I'm asking is, even if you're feeling hopeless, please at least *try*. Don't do it for someone else. Heal for yourself, so that *you'll* feel better. It takes a lot of strength but you owe it to yourself to try. You're beautiful, inside and outside, any way you are.

So I know a lot of you might be rolling your eyes right now thinking geez, this girl is such a dreamer. But if you're not rolling your eyes, please really try to do the right thing for yourself, and even though I'll admit that it's definitely easier said than done, it's worth the shot...
