At the time, I was suffering a horrible eating disorder that affected my mental and physical health. The doctor said that I had a blood sugar level of 32, which meant I should be in a coma, my liver count was extremely high due to an excessive amount of protein intake from supplement shakes and bars in replacement of food, that my uterus shut down for eight months straight which was leading me down a path of becoming sterile, and that I was 110 pounds at 5'11, leaving my BMI to be extremely and dangerously low. My body was failing and I didn't care because I wanted to fit in and be "skinny and beautiful" just like every New York supermodel. In the industry I am in, you never please people with your measurements and are constantly told that you aren't good enough. After that day, I knew that I had to turn my life around and take action to become healthier and gain back my self-worth. With the support of my family, boyfriend, best friends, and Jesus Christ by my side every second of the day, I began to recover. Today was my first day back in that same doctors office that left me scarred and I was told that I was 130 lbs, my blood sugar was normal, my uterus was working, and that I was 100% healthy. At the weight I am at now, I am working more than I ever have, making decisions to better myself every single day, serving at my church on their worship team 2 times a week, and love the young woman that God made me to be. Do NOT doubt your beauty or self worth based on other people's opinions of you, but instead, learn to love yourself and look at yourself the way that the Lord views you, which is more precious than diamonds or pearls. Beauty is skin deep. I am so grateful and blessed for the life that I have been living and if you are a part of it, thank you for all that you do. I love you ❤️ I felt this was important to post this separately and just say that if Nadia ever sees this thread, I hope she knows how much she inspires every day with her outer AND inner beauty.
