Binge eating disorder

I’ve struggled with body image from a young age such as 10 years old. I’m currently 15, still trying to learn to love my body. People at school would make fun of me calling me a whale and that an earthquake would occur every time I walked. I have a binge eating disorder (binge eating) due to emotional eating. I had a lot going on at such a young age so it was a coping mechanism. I’m getting better, I’m learning new ways to love me, and my body. Yeah, I still get comments about my appearance but I’m starting to think less about it and starting to find new ways to love my body. I’m in the mindset that my body has been there for me since day one and I need to treat it better. I used to hurt myself to take the pain away. I have stretch marks and I’m starting to look at them and I think it’s beautiful because it shows me the journey I’ve been on. I’m now happier than ever, motivating others and telling others they look beautiful etc. I love my body now, little me wouldn’t believe that at all. She wished she was skinny and “beautiful “. I was and still am beautiful and I’m not going to let anyone tell me otherwise again. I wish little me didn’t care about this at a young age but there’s always going to be mean people in the world and we can’t change that, but we can choose how we respond.
