You've got me wrapped around your fingers

I'm Alexis.
I can seem like I have it all together, when I don't.
I laugh more freqently than I breathe.
I have been through hell and back and I'm strong, deep down.
I seek attention more than I should.
I set goals for myself that are too high, but expect to accomplish them.
I aspire to be a child phycologist. If I could help one child, sleep better than the night before, my life will be worth it.
I can be confident some days, others, not so much.
I've been hurt, i've been shattered, Ive hit rock bottom again and again. Ive also conquered, been strong, rose above and showed the world I'm not a follower or a fail. Im hell bent on making something of myself.

Then there's this boy.
He's my other half, and I owe alot to him. We have been dating for over 2 years. 082110. He has picked me up, brushed me off and helped me move on. Hes held my hand through rough times, hes woken up with me in the middle of the night and let me cry on his shoulder while he held me. We've been through everything together and Id be nowhere without him. He is my reason for smiling. His name is Matthew David Rice. He bought me a ring, for our six month anniversary, and I havent taken it off since. We've fought, yelled, argued, cried, and thought, just for a second, that it might all end. We've laughed, smiled, held, kissed, made love and realized that even for that second, we always had eachothers hearts. He is the light of my life, and gets me through everything. I think the world of him. Hes an amazing person and makes my heart skip a beat when I think about him. I fit in his arms, pefectly like a puzzle piece. Ive messed up alot in my life, but I must have done something right, to have him in my life. I am head over heels, deeply and completley in love with him, forever and always.

I’m never on here anymore :( I’ll catch up my next day off!

I struggled with bulimia for three years, and it wasn’t until recently I sought out help and it has been six weeks since the last time I have binged or purged. Yeah, it’s really difficult to not slip back into my old ways, but I just have to remind myself how far I have come. If I’m unhappy with my body, it’s okay to want to change it. But I need to do it in a HEALTHY way. That’s why I’m aiming for, a HEALTHY weight and to do it in a way that won’t end in possible death.

I’m not anywhere near the body I want, but you know what?
I’m fine with that. Today, I bought a new bathing suit. I need to start loving my body, and start working on it the healthy way. Sure it will take some time, but I’m sure a guy/girl would rather be with someone who has some meat on their bones rather than a sickly looking girl. I am on my way to recovery, and I feel it will be awhile until I am absolutely comfortable and happy with it, but that’s okay. Anything that is worth having is worth all the hard work and wait, right?

Looking at all these submissions seriously gives me the will power to love myself. Who cares what society says is beautiful. I know that I am beautiful in my own way. :)
