Dearest Teen,
You are doing so well. Don't let this be an excuse to give in to ED!!

A wise person in recovery told me this, which I share with you. NO ONE can ruin your body image if you don't let them. It's yours. A few posts ago you were feeling positive, healthier and happier. Reclaim that! Honor your progress. Be mad at the family member for invading your boundaries, but DO NOT take it on as truth. You are not your body or your body image.
