Ill go first

so I was 12 soon to turn 13 and I was getting really into ballet. I had always had awful self image and esteem issues before but being around skinny ballerinas all day was really effecting me so I starved myself. I still ate so my mom didnt get suspicious but I was only taking in anywhere from 50-200 calories a day. At one point I just stopped eating altogether. My hair started getting thinner and my teeth and nails got weaker. I cant remember exactly what it was but one day it finally hit me. This was doing way more harm than good. I had lost about 10 pounds and I was incredibly weak. I came to my mom crying and told her everything. I got in a healthy diet to ease myself back into it without immediately fattening up. I regret every day what I did but Ill never forget it. Theres always hope to stop. If youre doing it to lose weight theres healthy ways to do so. Excersize and eating healthier works. You dont have to do some crazy diet. Just eat a little healthier and youll be fine.

Your turn!
