Right now I weigh 94 pounds. My goal weight now is 120. Thank you for writing Dear Ana. It opened my eyes to see that this disease is taking over my life.

I am so incredibly proud of you. I will be rooting for you every step of the way. You’ve got this; I know you do. I’m honored that “Dear Ana” helped you come to that realization.

(If anyone else would like to read “Dear Ana,” it’s here.)
