Open Letter to Anorexia

Dear Pre-Anorexic Me,

You are worth more than what you tell yourself.
You are worth more than numbers on a scale, and calories on food packets.
You are worth more than days upon days spent on psychiatric wards, in doctors surgeries, blood tests every week.
You are worth more than panic attacks.
You are worth more than infertility.
You are worth more than exercising to exhaustion.
You are worth more than allowing these voices tell you how to live your life.
You are worth more than these voices shouting: lose weight, go back to the hospital.
You are worth more than perfectionism, judging yourself by others.
You are worth more than continuing this pain.
You are worth more than this control.

You are worth something.
