Not long ago, I met my soulmate--a brilliant man and a vision of perfection. He saw something in me that convinced him I was amazing and in turn, I developed the motivation and courage to fight this eating disorder. Everything made sense and all the suffering and consequences of my poor decisions in life that landed me in this exact position to meet him, made complete sense! I had a purpose and love, a reason to pursue my dreams again!
The relationship I struggle with most is the one with myself. Jennifer Tessena truly is my own worst enemy. I view myself through a completely different lense than I do others. Focused on my flaws, with imperfections magnified 100x, anything redeeming is left far out of view and labeled as insignificant or irrelevant. With others, I pride myself in being able to find the good in everyone.
