ESTA CHICA SE RECUPERÓ DE LA ANOREXIA. AHORA ES UNA ESTRELLA EN INSTAGRAM GRACIAS A LAS FOTOS DE SU CUERPO

Megan Jayne comenzó a sufrir por problemas de imagen con su cuerpo desde los cinco años. A los 14 fue diagnosticada con anorexia, por lo que pasó el verano entero en una institución mental para jóvenes antes de ser hospitalizada. Los médicos le comunicaron que sólo tenía un par de semanas para vivir.

Ahora Megan tiene 22 años y ha compartido su recuperación en Instagram, en donde cuenta su experiencia con la esperanza de ayuda a otras personas que pasan por la misma situación.

One day you'll see. The moments of your life that you've missed. The memories that were made to light up your mind with smiles in vivid colour. But instead, they are dull. They were dulled. By a mind that could never truly live in that moment, too consumed by the ever present mirror forcing your reflection to the forefront of your thoughts. You cannot truly live with that mirror, looming over all that you do, and all that you are. One day you'll see, that it was inside you all along – the power to smash the mirror into pieces too small to ever pierce through your self esteem again. One day you'll see, that you could have lived unburdened by lies about your worth residing in your reflection. That you could have laughed with your whole body shaking. That you could have devoured every bite without shame. That you could have lived every moment, for yourself. One day, you will see. And I can't think of a better day than the one you're living right now. 💜💙💚🌈🌞

“En mi peso más bajo la ropa se me caía, mi cabello se adelgazó y tenía frío todo el tiempo. Nunca estaba lo suficientemente delgada, y ese desorden alimenticio me superó de tal manera que creí que era todo lo que era y que era todo lo que tenía”.

Superar la anorexia no fue nada fácil, pero Megan recibió ayuda de su padre, quien la acompañó durante el duro proceso. Con el tiempo fue recuperándose, pero descubrió que en algún momento sustituyó el matarse de hambre con atracones de comida, así que después de engordar tuvo que comenzar a llevar dietas con varios nutriólogos.

Working my bumpy thighs ✔ working my chunky calves ✔ working my chubby belly ✔ working my bopo magic and not caring how many trolls try to bring us down ✔ 😏😏💜💙💚🌈🌞 #effyourbeautystandards

Después de años de lucha constante con su peso y nunca estar conforme con la imagen que el espejo le devolvía cada día, decidió adoptar una actitud más positiva y aceptarse tal y como es. Ahora Megan ve su cuerpo de una forma amorosa y en su cuenta de Instagram sube fotos en bikini y videos en los que baila con seguridad y confianza.

“Trato de mostrar a las personas que los estándares imposibles de belleza en nuestra pantalla y en las revistas no son necesarios para lograr ser felices”.

HERE'S TO UNFLATTERING. To all the pictures we've deleted. To all the ones we've avoided. To all the spotlights we've hidden away from. To all the outfits we've been too worried to wear. To all the moments we've been too scared to embrace. 'That's my bad side' 'The camera angle is all wrong' 'Always dress for your shape, remember to disguise your flaws' 'When I've lost the last 10 pounds, then I can finally be happy' Life is not meant to be lived through the lens of how other people see you. It is for you, and you alone. Stop trading away your memories because you didn't have your makeup on. Stop forfeiting things you love because people say that your body doesn't suit them. Stop hiding in the shadows because you don't think you deserve the light. These pictures were taken 30 minutes apart. One is not a lie. The other is not an embarrassment. They are both me, and I choose to embrace and love them both. So here's to redefining that word, because the only thing that's truly unflattering is a culture that convinces us that any version of ourselves is unacceptable. We are spectacular, in all of our forms. 💜💙💚🌈🌞 #effyourbeautystandards

“Si puedo enamorarme de mi cuerpo después de todo lo que ha pasado, cualquier persona puede, sólo tiene que creer que lo merece.”

This belly roll babe is going on an adventure! Seville ✈ Rome ✈ Paris Holidays completely changed when I found body positivity. No more crash diets before leaving. No more bikini fear. No more fear in general, of doing or wearing anything that might make me look less than perfect to anyone who might be looking at me. I'm not there for them anymore. I'm there for me. And me plans on exploring beautiful places, making one of a kind memories, and eating all the yummy food I can get my hands on! HAND OVER THE CARBS EUROPE! 💜💙💚🌈🌞 #effyourbeautystandards
