I've struggled with post-traumatic stress disorder since I was raped at age 16. Because of it, I have over eaten, most of my life, to protect myself. I protected myself from another rape by gaining weight. By gaining weight, less men look at me. That was my goal then. But now, things are different. now I want to heal. now I want to be strong. I don't want to overeat anymore, but I still do. I'm hoping somebody out there has felt something similar.
