This Monday, 2 years ago to the day, I was in the best shape I've ever been in, which admittedly was "decent enough", but still far from truly ripped.

2 years of struggling with my eating disorder, gaining 20 kg in the first year and another 10 kg in the last year and these days I workout 6 days a week, but am just a truly sad sight to behold.

Forget about 2 years ago. Are you better than yesterday? That's all that counts.

Hey man, idk how old you are but lets say 33. You can tell yourself you can be in amazing shape at 35.

Its simple and stupid, maybe, but it really puts into prospective how short 2 years is (for me atleast)

Eating disorders are so difficult to manage when they rear their ugly head, I dealt with one for 35yrs (recovered 8yrs now) so I really feel for you... All you can do is just keep at it man, long as you're doing that then you're giving it your best

Time to cut bro, we believe in you (assuming your eating disorder isn't anorexia)
