"That moment began a quest to feel thin that consumed my life for longer than I care to remember. It took years to discover why I did not feel thin when I truly was. I struggled with disordered eating and a poor body image for a good portion of my college career without knowing why I was struggling or really what I was struggling with because I was looking for that feeling. Now, as I look back I can clearly see that my definition of thin was synonymous with my definition of happiness. When I said I wanted to feel thin, what I meant was I wanted to feel happy."
