“Eating disorders aren’t glamorous, trendy, a choice, something someone can just ‘get over’…and they’re not just about food.”
“I was not a rented womb. I didn’t do it for the money. I didn’t ‘sell’ my baby. I was so thankful to be carrying Andrew.”
“In a matter of 6 months, I had become a wife, stepmom, and immigrant in a country whose customs and language were completely different.”
“Some days I am so hungry and have a fridge full of food, but I can’t eat it. When I do eat, the pain is so bad I’m curled up in a fetal position for the rest of the night. Then I wake up and I do it all over again.”
“Those frail little boys have learned to ride bikes, scooters, skateboards. Our commitment to them is as if I had given birth to them. There is no difference in our love for them.”
“I needed to go into this journey for HEALTH, not because I wanted to look like this person or that person. It has changed my whole perspective. I am happy with my body again, and I am confident again.”
“Living in a malnourished state made me OBSESSED with food. I would spend my spare time walking around supermarkets staring at food, picking food up, and buying food for other people to fill some sort of void.”

“It didn’t hit me when my heart rate was at 40 bpm and the doctor called cardiology in a panic. Or when I was freezing cold in the summer heat. Or when I woke up at 3 a.m. every morning, dripping in sweat. I finally realized something was wrong when I stopped loving my dog.”
“It took everything in me not to cry.”
