It’s the year 2010, and your life is about to change. You’ve been back and forth to New York for your modeling and you are now settling in to the city for your first extended stay as a model with one of the top agencies in the world. I know how excited and nervous you are right now for all that is ahead of you. Your modeling career is off to an unbelievable start meeting with famous designers and international magazines. It’s just the beginning, and it feels like you have the world at your fingertips.
New York 2010
The last few months leading up to this trip, you’ve been skipping meals and over- exercising, but please listen to me when I say that you are putting too much pressure on yourself to lose weight. You’re taking it to the extreme and setting yourself up to be miserable. Soon you’ll start to feel trapped in a destructive cycle of shame, fear and self-hatred. What might feel good right now will regrettably leave you feeling hopeless and alone.
Today, I want to warn you especially – you will have an important decision to make very soon, one that can change your life drastically. It won’t really seem like a big deal at the time but will mark the start of your eating disorder that will consume your life for the next few years. For the first time, you will start to hear your eating disorder (ED) whispering in your ear. Don’t listen.
I wish you could know now what’s taken years to learn the hard way. Love yourself as I do now.
From,
“Future You”
