Dear Eating Disorders....

...you cannot touch me anymore. I am a survivor. I am a fighter. I will fight you 'till the end of my breath if I have to... but thankfully I don't. For my body is beautiful and strong. For my body is now and forevermore under my control and agency.

Hi! Welcome to my simple blog! This blog will be the testament of my battles against my eating disorders. We live in a society which puts too much emphasis on superficial things, such as how people look, how people dress, and how much people weigh. The beauty conformity is especially harsh here in the place where I live, Asia. Girls are expected to be thin, white, meek and graceful - these ideas have been grilled into my head even before my first sex education. As a result, I have been battling against bulimia, anorexia, disordered eating, and now binge eating disorder. I have known dieting since the start of my childhood. Now that I'm all grown-up and a working woman, I will no longer subscribe to these self-defeating ideas. 

If you by chance stumbled and discovered this blog, there is a high probability that you're a survivor and a fighter yourself. By all means, please enjoy the content of this blog, and I sure hope that my experience could help you deal with whatever you're facing right now. Be sure to share some of your stories too. I'd be glad to meet a fellow warrior!
