Megan Jayne Crabbe is a body positive warrior.

The 23 -year-old, who was diagnosed with anorexiawhen she was just 14 , now operates a website and Instagram account calledBodyposipanda. The site and social media account detail Crabbes own experience with her eating disorder and how she learned to manage it. She also regularly posts inspirational messages that encourage people to love their bodies, as well as honest pictures of herself.

Last month, one of Crabbes photos ran viral for its powerful before and after message.

On the left is me 2 1/2 years ago, just before I detected body positivity, and on the right is me today, she wrote in the photos caption. Youll probably notice the most obvious thing Ive gained between these two scenes: weight. But there are so many other things Ive gained as well. Ive gained mental freedom. Ive gained self love. Ive gained my life back after so many years of expressed his belief that I wasnt worthy of living it because of how my body looked.

On the left is me 2 1/2 years ago, just before I determined body positivity, and on the right is me today. You’ll probably notice the most obvious thing I’ve gained between these two images: weight. But there are so many other things I’ve gained as well. I’ve gained mental freedom. I’ve gained self love. I’ve gained my life back after so many years of believing that I wasn’t worthy of living it because of how my body looked. I know the world wants you to believe that the less you weigh the happier you’ll be. I know I’m supposed to feel ashamed of this transformation. I’m supposed to vow to lose the weight, I’m supposed to spend my life chasing the body on the left and buying into the idea that I’ll be more valuable once I get there. But I’m not going to do that. Instead I’m going to tell you what I learnt from all those squandered years chasing washboard abs and falling numbers on the scale: happiness is not a sizing. Weight loss does not cure self hatred. Mental health matters more than a dress sizing does. And we are all so worthy of ego love precisely as we are. It’s day we took a stand and refused to keep hurting ourselves in the pursuit of a’ perfect’ body that doesn’t even exist. It’s hour for us to realise that we’re already good enough. It’s day for us to take our power back.

To date, the popular post has nearly 100,000 likes and over 4,000 commentaries. While most of the comments were positive, some were not, so Crabbe decided to take action.

In her most recent before and after photo, Crabbe answered some of the entail remarks she got and told off hateful commentators with ease.

Wait so you simply decided to RUIN your body? Nah, I just stopped torturing myself every day for not fitting an image I was never is expected to be, Crabbe wrote. But you look so much healthier to me before. Thats funny, you appeared so much more intelligent to me before you equated health with weight and forgot that mental health is health too.

Crabbe continued her comment-and-clapback style for a few cases more remarks, before ending on a note of positivity.

…As it turns out, happiness isnt a size. And I wasted far too many years believing that it was. Now Im not going to stop letting people know that they deserve happiness exactly because this is, she told. They deserve to live now , not 10 pounds from now. They deserve that mental liberty. So to every person reading this: I hope you get your freedom too, however it might seem. Ill be cheering you on every step of the way.

“Wait so you only decided to RUIN your body? ” Nah, I just stopped torturing myself every day for not fitting an image I was never supposed to be. “But you appear so much healthier to me before.” That’s funny, you looked so much more intelligent to me before you equated health with weight and forgot that mental health is health too. “You could have stayed the same and loved your body, you didn’t need to get fat.” I could have stayed the same and spiralled back into the eating disorder that nearly killed me when I was 15. I could have kept starving myself and obsessively working out for hours everyday but it never would have lead me to self love. No matter how much weight I lost there was always still something to detest. And sure, people don’t NEED to gain weight to find their self love, this is just what my body needed to do to match up to my mental freedom. THIS IS MY HAPPY BODY. “But surely you can’t be happy looks a lot like that now, I could never be happy in that body.” I didn’t suppose I could either, but as it turns out, happiness isn’t a size. And I wasted far too many years believing that it was. Now I’m not going to stop letting people know that they deserve happiness exactly as they are. They deserve to live now , not 10 pounds from now. They deserve that mental freedom. So to every person reading this: I hope you get your liberty too, however it might look. I’ll be cheering you on every step of the route. P.s. these are all commentaries I received on my last before/ after picture, fortunately for me, they just make me want to keep going even more

Hell. Yes. Maintain going for all of us, Megan.

According to the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders, at least 30 million people of all ages and genders suffer from an eating disorder in the U.S ., and 0.9 percent of women will suffer from anorexia in their lifetime.The mental health condition is characterized by comorbid mood and anxiety disorders, like obsessive thinks, depression and social phobium .

Crabbes openness with her adherents helps eliminate some of the stigma surrounding the mental health condition. Talking about her own experiences and shedding a positive light on therapy could help others to seek support something that research presents people dont do due to fear of judgement or shame.
