In the summer between grades 9 and 10 I got boobs, and let me tell you, I LOVED them. Unfortunately, I wasn’t as crazy about the hips & thighs that came along with them. At some point between dance classes, soccer practices, hanging out with friends and navigating life as a teenager I very innocently decided to start eating “healthier” in hopes that my hips would disappear. What I couldn’t have predicted when I skipped that first meal was that less than a year later my 5’11” frame would weigh only 89lbs, my internal organs would be shutting down and Id spend 3 months hospitalized for an eating disorder. I was lucky enough to recover but Ive met so many men and women along my path who struggle daily with low self-confidence, negative body image and the subsequent feelings of depression and anxiety that often follow suit. I know first hand that trying to find confidence and happiness through external beauty is a surefire way to end up very very unhappy. I started this website to help women feel more confident in their unique beauty despite societys conventional standards of beauty so that we can move on with our lives and start focusing on more important things than a number on the scale or laugh lines. - Erin Treloar, on why she started RAW.
