Hey everyone,
I'm turning 18 in a few minutes, and I've decided that for my birthday, I'm going to let myself eat whatever I want without counting calories.
I'm planning to have pizza and cake with my family, and while part of me is excited, another part of me is really nervous. Birthdays are supposed to be happy, but food can make them feel complicated sometimes.I've spent a lot of time thinking about what I wanted my 18th birthday to look like, and I realized I don't want my eating disorder to be the thing running the show. I want to be present with my family, enjoy the food, celebrate turnong 18, and make some good memories. I know the anxiety will probably still be there, but I'm trying to choose celebration over fear tonight.
Just wanted to share this because it feels like a big step for me. ❤️

Hey everyone!!
In 20 minutes, I'll officially be 18. 🎉
Honestly, it feels a little surreal. For so long, 18 felt so far away, and now it's suddenly here. I've spent the last few days doing nostalgic things, rewatching childhood movies, listening to old music, and trying to enjoy the last moments of being 17. I’m excited, nervous, emotional, and probably a bunch of other things all at once. I don't really have a big point to this post I just wanted to share this moment with someone. If you have any advice for turning 18, words of wisdom, favorite memories from when you turned 18, or even just a quick happy birthday, I'd love to hear it. ❤️
