One woman is saying “sayonara” to a beloved pair of shorts for the best reason.

Alyssa Grace, a 22-year-old body-positive Instagram user from Illinois, posted an image of her sporting the denim along with a caption that contained an open letter to her eating disorder. Grace wrote that she is happy the shorts don’t fit anymore because it’s a sign that she’s recovering from the mental health condition.

“To my eating disorder: Oh ED... remember these shorts? When we were together I lived in them,” she wrote. “I saw them in the drawer and the memories were all too tempting. They. don’t. fit. anymore. In the same way you no longer fit into my life.”
