OKAY. Body positivity! (eating disorder awareness)

Angelyn
Okay so usually I don't like my body, I struggled with anorexia nervosa for roughly five years until it got to the point where I was hospitalized due to the fact that no one suspected that I was anorexic because I was not rail thin. (potassium levels were low and I only weighed in at 109 lbs). Fast forward to two years later. I'm currently almost 18 at a healthy 128 -132 lbs depending on the day. Personally for me, I didn't develop it because I had a fear of gaining weight, well, that was partially the reason. The word "fat" was used a bit too frequently to describe me in my childhood years, my pediatrician had me put on a diet when I was in fourth grade and my siblings would buy me "shape wear" when I was 12. All I can really say is, please be careful with what you say or do to children because it will stick with them for a life time. 
Please be careful with what you say or do to anyone because nobody deserves to get put through that hell. Do not think for one second that someone does not have any kind of mental or eating disorder just because they look healthy on the outside and vice versa. 
It is a disease and if it were possible to just "walk away from it" or "ignore it and it'll go away" then it wouldn't be such a problem in the USA or any other country.
