I was five the first time I noticed the fat on my stomach. 
"Baby fat" my mum called it. 
I was seven when I saw that my thighs were bigger than the others'. 
Ten when I started to work out to make it all go away. 
Eleven when I had my first panic attack. 
Twelve when I found a razor. 
Twelve and two weeks when I used it. 
I didn't shave. 
Thirteen when I ate away my feelings. 
Fourteen when I dieted away fat. 
Fifteen when I became underweight. 
Fifteen and a half when I got an eating disorder. 
The same age when I told someone about my anxiety. 
And the scars of the past won't ever go away. 
And I'm done trying to mask my pain. 
Because this is me. 
And I can't hide that.
