"You Were The Only Person That Didn't Give Up On Me"

“After such a long journey, I am so grateful for having met you, as you were the only person that didn’t give up on me while everyone else, including myself didn’t believe I would be able to overcome my eating disorder issues. Yet now I can finally admit that I have an eating disorder, thanks to you… You made me believe I can actually accept myself the way I am, build a support system around me and appreciate the little things in life that can create a big change. Your unusual and down-to-earth way of walking me through one step at a time, with no judgment, made me start to believe in myself.”
