Neža, 16

At the age of thirteen I was diagnosed with an eating disorder. I used to live a carefree childhood but then one day a boy said to me:”You look so ugly that even a plastic surgery will not help you!” From that moment my life has changed forever. I have my ups and downs but I always find the inner strength to pull myself up. I just wanted to say thank you to all of my friends and family because of them I am who I am, telling you my story and feel comfortable in my own body. To be happy in your own skin is what counts in life and we should all stand up together and spread positivity of life.

"I am waiting for a doctor in the middle of the clinic’s waiting room. People are walking by me, smiling, talking and all of them seem so happy. And then there’s me. Feeling lost, alone and depressed." Three years ago I was diagnosed with an eating disorder and because of that my life has changed forever. It was a difficult road, but I made it. I am proud of who I am and to feel comfortable in your own body is the greatest gift you can get. So take a second and say to yourself: ”I am beautiful!”
