So for a few years now I’ve been struggling with an eating disorder. I never liked what I saw in the mirror, until one day, after getting injured without being able to participate in dance class, I knew it was my opportunity to make my dream come true and work towards getting the body I always wanted. Little did I know that such a dream can only turn into a nightmare. I became addicted to calories and numbers, my anorexia avoiding every calorie I could until there was almost nothing left of me. Not physically and not spiritually. Before shooting the 3rd and 4th seasons of GHA my body was so weak, walking got me breathless. My health was at the lowest it had ever been and both Giora and I knew my health insurance wasn’t going to allow my participation in the show. I was devastated. And only a few days later I began residential treatment. Today I’m living a whole new life. Ill unapologetically worship my body no matter it’s size, no matter what our society makes us believe is right or beautiful. No I don’t love it, these pictures were not easy for me to share. But I’m willing to put out the message, that we all deserve endless amounts of self love, after lacking it myself for so many years- to the point where my life was at risk. I do not believe in before and after pictures. What truly matters is the present, our here and now and the progress we’ve made and are continuing to make. So here’s the answer to the endless questions I receive everyday- I lost myself therefore I lost everything around me. Please take care of your self. You’re a beautiful being and a beautiful soul. ❤️ | Posted on 08/May/2020 16:48:51
