Mary H.K. Choi Instagram – Hi friends, just wanted to share the first page of Yolk. Today marks the beginning of Eating Disorder Awareness Week in the U.S. If you know me, chances are you’ll know that bulimia, binge-eating and body obsession are part of my story. I was hoping this letter would serve as a trigger warning but also a reminder. You are not alone and you are not the sum of your compulsions, your traumas or the life-saving tools that are broken but kept you protected at different times. Trust bodies. They are unfathomably wise and doing their best. All my love.
💛💛💛
[Image caption: The first page of the book, Yolk, that reads, This is a work of fiction that mirrors aspects of my own history with disordered eating, dysmorphia, and bulimia. For those struggling with body image and food, this story might be emotionally expensive for you. Please be gentle with yourselves—sensitivity is a superpower. And please know that there is no such thing as a bad body. Truly. Take up space, it is your birthright. Love, Mary.] | Posted on 22/Feb/2021 22:02:40
