Here it is. After going to the tattoo parlor on so many occassions, and with so many different friends, I've never really had the urge to get a tattoo. I'm shocked by myself.

Now i've changed my mind. My ED has been in my life since my sophmore year of highschool. (well really since i was 5, cuz that was the first time i asked my mother if i was fat, but we wont start there..). Now, i'm going to graduate college, still having problems. I started with anorexia for 2 years, and have 'graduated' if you will to an awful relationship with bulima ever since. I'm currently working and living in London. I always have this hope that if i surround myself with new ppl in a new situation that my ED will go away.  And it seems to...but that distraction of a new place, new friends, and a new life only lasts so long. I keep forgetting that stress and unhappiness happens in every situation. I have to stop running.

Anyway, I want to get a tatoo right no my ribcage, horizontal, kindof right under my breast. I'm choosing this spot cuz i noticed the habit i've had for 7 years of lifting up my shirt and looking at my fat torso everytime im in the bathroom.  Now i have to pick what I want to have written there: I want it to relate to beauty, being able to get over my mind and mental disorder, and cherishing who I am.  Anyone know of any good short quotes, or have any good ideas of what to write?? And still thinking about if I want it in Latin or in just beautiful script in English.

I would love your feedback!
