 By the time I was 13 years old, I weighed 60 pounds… I loved being in control of what I ate – I loved the way it felt when my body started eating itself from the inside. I joined the Southern Ballet School when I was 10 years old. I remember when I walked into…

 On the back cover of the magazine that we handed out at the Lovely Experience, a statement was written. It said, “Becoming <3ly is just the beginning.” The Lovely Project One Day Experience has come and gone. During that day, many hands were shaken, hugs were given, and more names than we could remember were…

 I was broken, unfixable. At five years old I knew I would never be like everyone else. When I was a little girl, I knew without a shadow of a doubt what I would be when I grew up… a ballerina. There were no doubts in my mind, I was determined. I’ve always been the dreamer of…

 … I overheard the rest of the kids in my class saying how everyone who goes to Mrs. Whitmill’s class is “retarded.” I grew up with two sisters who excelled in their studies and both attended prestigious colleges. I loved being home schooled in my early years so when I found out I had to start…

Like Hana here: If you grew up learning “WORDS CAUSE PAIN”, you grew up believing the best…

 “Ugly, Fat, Cootie Girl, Milk Carton, and Stupid” are just some of the names that I was being called since Kindergarten. These names hurt and made me feel like I was nothing but an ugly spot on a perfect wall. I would walk around school with my head down, always looking at the ground because…

 Sometimes it is so hard to tell a story you tried to keep quiet for soooo many years… In my house you didn’t have a babysitter for the summer…you had grandma’s house with all of your cousins! It was the best. Until it wasn’t. “The experts say” that at 10 years old you are on…
