Have you ever been so sad that whatever was going on in the World didn't matter at all?
I struggled through all my teenage years.
When the hormones all start to kick in, all the changes in your body, and also in your life, can be brutal.
I suffered from eating disorders. From not eating at all for days (only bread with lemon juice), or to binge eating everything I could find at home.
I hated my body, and that was my way of punishing it.
It was difficult to be a teenage in the 90s, with all those teen magazines and very skinny models were on the front page.
How could I dare to be happy when I looked horrible in front of that big mirror in my bedroom?
I want with this blog to share my journey from hating myself to unconditionally loving myself (30 years later)
I know a lot of you that will read my story will resonate with my words. And I wished that I had at the time someone to talk to, someone that could understand me.
Because the issue is that when I turned an adult, all of that toxic thoughts were still part of my life.
I know that any of my friends that will read this will be surprised of what I am sharing here.
So this is to say that never judge a book by its cover.
Because its when I was alone, in silent, that all my demons would come to visit me.
And they still do, sometimes they appear when I least expect it, my demons, but I don't let them stay for to long.
It has been such a long journey, and for the 1st time, I am ready to talk about it.
