I wanna cry cuz one of my FIRST GRADERS said they hope they are as skinny and pretty as me when they are older. I have been dealing with an ed recently and lost a lot of weight but I thought it wasn’t visible. I don’t want her to go through this

I want her to be able to feel pretty in her body and not be obsessed with food and what she looks like. It’s hell having it where I can’t even eat chocolate without feeling guilty and like I am a horrible person.

you can try teaching her that pretty personality is more important than a pretty body or face

I’m trying really hard to have it where I use my students as a thing to encourage me to get better. I want them to see me as confident and comfortable. I hope that I’m able to recover quickly
