This week is National Eating Disorders Awareness Week. While, I know I’m not the image that pops up in your mind when hear the words anorexic or bulimic, I have struggled with an eating disorder for most of my adult life.

I’ve been trying to tell this story for the last week. Starting and stopping. Staring at the blinking cursor. Ultimately, the writing it all down has been too painful. But here is the story in my own words. If you are struggling I am so sorry. Please keep fighting. You are worth it.
