I'm pretty much your average insecure teen. Boo. How exciting. Last spring I was on the verge of getting an ED, largely due to pressure from an anorexic ex-best friend. (I confronted her about her issues, and she took it offensively and tried to destroy my social life. Yikes.) After school got out, I spent the summer getting my life straight again, and gaining self-confidence through Jesus. =] Yay, right? I actually became on the edge of overweight. But when school started last August, my family life got wayy worse and my parents made me quit going to church. I sort of gave up on God ever since, and my self-worth seems to be sinking...

Fiddled around with purging for a little bit, but I've found it isn't worth it. (And it makes you lose your voice the next day. Ouch.) My weight's been sort of yo-yoing all over the place, depending on how my parents are getting along. Sucks, but hey.. that's life for now. At the moment, I'm just trying to gain some security with my figure and my relationships.

On top of that, I've got a super screwed up back. What started out as a sprained shoulder ended up to be a long-term pain in.. well.. the neck. My entire spine and collarbone get bumped out of place very very easily and cause LOTS of pain (almost like fibromyalgia. if I spelled that right.) They get all locked up like that and make it impossible to excercise the right muscles, and it all ends up resulting in pretty much no upper body strength. I had to quit both piano and swim team (possibly for good) and have no muscle on my arms. It sucks.
