Stephanie wrote, “I really don’t know what to say, other than, thank you. I have been giving myself several deadlines to quit binge eating, I have told people, and kept it secret. I have taken it seriously at times, and have pushed my ED away from me, as if it wasn’t a big deal…but I have to say that reading this article on Operation Beautiful has made me take in a deep breath and realize that binge eating is real. It is what I do, and it is what I must not feel ashamed about any more. I need to pull it into the light and get it out of my life. I feel after having read this article that it is actually possible for me now. Thank you.”

Sophie wrote, “I’m am avid reader of HTP, and love it, but I have never visited the Operation Beautiful site. I guess I just thought it wasn’t for me, or I didn’t need to read it. How wrong was I. I seem to constantly be on a diet, but I never get very far, maybe losing a kilo or so before I give up. I know I’m not fat, I’m just not 100% comfortable with my body. People always tell me I don’t need to lose weight or be on a diet, but I just thought they were being nice. Today I thought it was time to visit Operation Beautiful. Just watching the videos made me cry. I know how to eat well, I was just never motivated enough to do it for reasons other than weight loss. Those videos have made me realize that I not only need to eat well and exercise for the sake of my body, but for my own emotional and mental wellbeing. My body is to be worshipped, and treated with the respect and care that it needs to make me feel and be the best I can be.”

I remember once I was coming out of the Subway and I saw a sticker in a door that said, “you’re beautiful” and I smiled instantly. It’s unbelievable how just two words can light up your day!!”
