My Journey: Self-Esteem, Insecurities, and Body Image Pt. 2

Part 1  left off as I explained the breaking point of my life. I was 25, consumed in an eating disorder, broken, and basically feeling hopeless; which, lucky for me, happens to be the perfect place to begin building your life back up again. Only I had no idea what that meant, because as far …
