I am sorry to hear that. We really need to love ourselves because hatred is no reason to do what we need to in order to be our best selves. When we love ourselves fully and completely we have reason to do what is best for our body, mind and spirit. Try working on that and the rest will fall into place. 

Wisely said, Dawn. I have dealt with bulemia and I can tell you that, at 36 years old, I still struggle with some of the same issues. But, I can also say that I've come a long way in terms of how I think about myself. The things that are good inside YOU will still be there if you gained 50 lbs, and the things you don't like will still be there if you lost all the weight you could imagine losing and had your exact perfect imaginary body. It's not always easy to let go of that number on the scale, but you can do it. As Dawn said, once you can start to love and care for what's inside your heart and brain, it's easier to eat healthily and take care of your body.
