lately people have been talking how pretty i was and how thin i was when i was 14 and how light i was im like i know i was pretty now im ugly i know im fat and thats the way i feel ... i used to weigh like 90 pounds less than i do now or maybe a little less than 90 but i just want people to realize im having a battle with myself now and then too ... i used to starve myself and purge... do i have to do that to be beautiful and pretty... will that make me smile more and be pretty because people think iam pretty... im seriously considering it again but i just have made it so far now i havent starved in over a 3 months and i havent purged in over a year and a half maybe i should start again... this is just making me sooo depressed and have even lower self esteem then i already have i hate when people say you were so pretty and thin before you were gone my parents even say hope you need to loose weight... this hurts so much why cant i be "beautiful" again

@imsorryitry Hope, you're beautiful just the way you are. Your value or beauty is not determined by any number on a scale, or from clueless comments from others. The problem is not with you or your weight, it's clearly a problem with people who don't understand the harm that their words can do. You don't need to change, they do. They don't realize that when you were that weight, when you looked like that at 14, you were not healthy, you got to that point because of unhealthy habits. You know what's really pretty? Being healthy, taking care of yourself, and not listening to others. You've been taking care of yourself for 3 months, and in a different way for a whole year! That's beautiful Hope!!! (also do these people not realize that no one is supposed to look how they did when they were 14??? No DUH someone was smaller when they were 14, they were still a child at that point!) You are growing now Hope, you don't need to be the 14 year old you anymore, and you shouldn't be. You're a new you, you're a better you, and you're even more beautiful than you ever have been. Because you're taking control of your life and not letting disordered eating take over, you're living your life according to your rules (at least in this area of your life) and absolutely nothing is more gorgeous than that. You don't have to starve yourself or purge to be beautiful. You already are beautiful, Hope. Those people need to change their opinions about what beauty is, because clearly they can't see it when it's right in front of them.
