I Chose To Live Eating Disorder Recovery

My personal fight to overcome a 4 year battle with anorexia nervosa. Given one year to live, I chose to live, and choose to care. This is the video I use to open all my college presentations when I travel and speak on eating disorders, awareness, and recovery. You can read my full story at www.ichosetolive.com and learn about my team outreach program. Recovery is Possible.

@cdover7890 Know the feeling. Except I'm at the point that I don't care. It's really not like any doctor would believe me at the weight I'm at. It's pretty ridiculous.

I actually heard about you in my Psychology class.... and now I seemed to have developed an eating disorder myself. I'm glad that you are driven toward recovery, and I hope this video will help others.
