You Are More

This one is for all of you ladies out there who don't think you're good enough.  It hurts my heart to see you talk that way, but I know how you feel and I'm not going to tell you that you're wrong to feel that, but this is a LIE.  You matter so much and I can't stand the thought of losing any more of you.  I need you to see what I see when I look at you.  I have so many friends that are slowly killing themselves thinking that somehow the eating disorder will make them happy and special.  It doesn't work, Loves.  It's not worth it.  Give your time to something worthwhile, something that will really make you feel better.  DREAM BIG.  Aim for the stars, have a plan for the future that doesn't involve being buried under six feet of dirt.  You are worth more than a number, than a size, than a name or a label.  You are the only you in existence.  You are unique and special and you matter so, so very much.  I know what you are thinking... it's scary and unsure, but what else is there to lose when you have fallen this far?  Don't give this your power anymore, food doesn't deserve that from you, neither does the number on the scale or the memories from your past.  You are irreplaceable.  We cannot be another tombstone in society's grave of starved, depressed, and perpetually waiting for someone to say "I care."  I care.  Your disease tells you that you don't matter and that you need to disappear.  My heart couldn't take that Dear.  I need you here.  Please don't give up, don't let ED win.  You are more than an eating disorder or a diagnosis... The past hurts, and by no means am I discounting that, but each day, every hour, every meal, every minute, every bite is your chance to make new and happy memories.  Redefine your past.  Reclaim your life.  Don't let ED take another friend from me <3 

I don't know what else to say...
