Negativity is inevitable. You’re always going to have those people that will try to bring you down– they’ll make fun of you, tell you you’re not good enough, and be that anchor trying to hold you back from reaching your goals. This negativity is one of the biggest challenges you’ll ever face in life… success comes when you find a way to put the negativity on the back burner and keep pushing to reach your goals.

My negativity is named ED. I’ve spent the past 4.5 years with ED and he has thrown his jab at every chance I’ve given him. He’s definitely won a couple battles but the war isn’t over. Every morning is a challenge to put ED behind me… but every night is another fight that I’ve won. For those of you that didn’t read my full story, ED is my eating disorder. I won’t pretend that I am fully recovered, or that I still don’t struggle with my ED every single day. But with every passing day I get just a little bit stronger. My fight with ED doesn’t get easier.. I’m just getting better. I use this negativity and turn it into my motivation. I want to succeed to prove ED wrong. I refuse to lose the war…

I know NOW that I’m worth more than what ED tells me I am…
