lonely-little-bird:

one of my main reasons for stopping was because despite what my anorexia did to my body, i still hope to be able to have kids one day.

and when i do, i don’t want to have to explain to them that ‘the reason mommy has white scars all over her legs is because when she’s sad she likes to take knives and slice herself open.’

no. you don’t tell that to a child. you don’t tell that to anyone.

i will never allow my kids to think that hurting yourself is an ok way to cope. never.

I’m actually crying. I don’t know what I’m going to tell my kids when they see my arms. I honestly have no idea…
