I'm still recovering from anorexia, but one thing that really helps me is being in control of my body when I work out. I went from an unhealthy weight to a healthy weight and gained confidence through my now fit and healthy body. Make your body work for you girl. You can do it.

And if your "friends" keep pressuring you to drink, you need new friends. I discovered my group of "friends" were half the problem. Constantly saying negative things and bashing each other and then drinking to make it go away...definitely does not help the situation. Surround yourself with positive people that encourage you to take control of your life.

The only thing with working out, just as a warning, make sure you get protein before everything else. I collapsed at the gym once in the first few weeks of my new life and work out routine because I wasn't getting nearly enough protein to help my body out.

Having a super healthy in shape body definitely helps with the fear of being rejected and judged too. I really believe exercise saved my life. No longer do I feel that people can judge my body. Why? Cuz I'm in shape and can kick all of their asses.

You'll make it through this. Take control of your life and hang in there!
