Hi TMOOH,

This company is a great way to bring awareness to body image.
Having dealt with my share of body image issues, this was a great way to feel like I am not alone.  I am in high school now and have been dealing with eating disorders for around five years now. Having an older sister, I always looked to her to be my role model.  Therefore when she got skinnier I would feel the same need to drop weight.

I always felt out of place in a town that focused so much on body image.  I felt like nobody else was going through my same struggles to be small.  What I realize now is, I was small.  I have been a size small all my life, but the constant pressure has changed my physique.  After watching, counting, and purging everything I ate, I became paranoid and instead started gaining weight.

Since I am a cheerleader this was especially tough.  Part of the sport is being thin, so it is easy to tumble and stunt.  When i gained 15 pounds in a matter of months I went into a severe depression.  Thankfully after support from friends I have overcome my disease and am regaining a HEALTHY weight.

It’s causes like these that help people like me.  I am so thankful for this, because this could save someone’s life.  I have wanted to design clothing with a good cause like this for a future career and am now even more motivated to do so.

Thank you all,
Megan
