"I would rather be ten pounds heavier than have an ED again." -Madeline Killen
Madeline texted me this last night when I was majorly struggling with my body image and the weight I've gained here, and as I would say in Italian, mi ha colpito molto (it really hit me). Yes I've gained weight but it does not have to make me hate myself or give me anxiety. I would rather be happy than be thin. Maybe the problem is that I'm not super happy right now, but I'm not unhappy either. I'm excited to see what the next term will bring and am excited to be around my friends and do lots of things I love, like run and hike and go outside in the sunshine and just walk around campus.
