Behind the Band Aids…

 

I’m Amanda. I am a teenager who had a brother and a dog. I live in the USA. I aspire to be a teacher. I have poor self-esteem. I have fainted at least five times in my short life, once during swim team picture day. I restrict my food intake. I like to read and sing. I have a huge vocabulary. My friends are the best ever! :)

Why Purple Band Aids?

Purple is my favorite color, and band aids are a sign of healing. I want to think I’m as beautiful as they all say, I want to eat food without thinking. I want the numbers on the scale to no longer intimidate me.

As you can see, I want many things. Can I make them all happen? Who knows? Only I can prevent myself from doing so, and only I can make it happen.

….There are Scars

  3. hey girl – just a thought for ya.

    my heart is broken as i read through your posts… i just want you to be free of this burden that so obviously is holding you back. i’ve been there, and i would NEVER go back.

    my thought? in your description of yourself, you say you limit your food intake… is that really how you want to describe your identity? i believe you are more than that. i see a girl who is separate from her eating disorder. i see a beautiful life, full of potential. i see strength that you don’t know you have yet. i see a life God wants to use in INCREDIBLE ways.

    just my two cents worth. you are a beautiful soul. never forget that.
