why i’m not gonna give up:
– the feeling of going to bed with an empty stomach
– getting dizzy and weak when standing up
– watching your bones get more and more visible
– seeing the numbers go down
– the satisfying pain after exercise
– size S is oversized
– “uh this one’s too big, are there smaller sizes?” instead of “i can’t fit in it.. ”
– people lifting you up like you weigh nothing
– “you’re so light!!”
– “have you been eating?”
– people barely recognizing you
– trying on clothes that you like and feeling confident in all of them
– wearing swimsuits without giving it a second thought
– your friends’ clothes are too big for you
– people admiring your looks on the streets
– random people complimenting you
– being known as “the skinny one”
– hearing people whisper “oh my god she lost so much weight, look at her!”
– people being jealous when you say how much you weigh
– going out and feeling confident
– seeing yourself in the mirror and admiring the reflection instead of hating it
– walking past a reflective surface doesn’t kill your mood
– hearing “i wish i looked like you!” every day
– whatever you’re doing, you still look good
– cute people approaching you
– more friends
– feeling worthy
– feeling happy
– loving. yourself.
