The TRUTH About Anorexia.
I know this is what you see.
I know every time you look in the mirror you see the person on the left.
I see it too when I look in the mirror.
But-- the mirror doesn't always tell the truth.
It lies.
It's even got a name.
Body Image Disorder.
Go figure, huh?
Just because you see that person doesn't mean it's real. It never was, never will be. And as much as I'd like to give you compassion for what it is you're going through, I can't anymore. So, instead, I'm going to be brutally honest with you. Because that's what friends should do.
Stop fucking feeling sorry for yourself. You've got it great. You don't need to look like what you think you should look like. Want to know the truth about anorexia? It's not pretty at all. The cons outweight the pro's so much more than you could ever imagine. I'm not preaching to you. I'm only telling you what everybody else is afraid to tell you because deserve to know the truth. You deserve to be treated as an adult, no matter whatever age you're acting. You know what the saddest thing is? YOU WON'T EVEN HEAR THIS. But I'm going to tell you anyway.
I hate it how every girl thinks she needs to be skinnier so she quits eating a lot. And you know what she does eat? It's the stuff that's the most fattening for you. By not eating anything but those 2 pieces of pizza you're not losing weight. and if you want to lose weight at least do it the right way. EAT HEALTHY. It's not that hard. Put down that pizza and pick up an apple. Don't crash diet. You're not going to solve anything that way. By not eating altogether it doesn't do anything. You're going to gain it back. When you stop eating you don't lose anything anyway. after a while your body will start holding it in. that's why you've had an eating disorder for so long and never lost ANYTHING.
America is really going down the shithole. Want to be skinny? Have a healthy diet. That means eating 3 big meals a day or 6 little meals. That means eating everything in the food groups. That means not pigging out on every single fucking thing and knowing that if you eat a few french fries it's not going to kill you. You're not going to look like that picture if you have one Big Mac every couple of weeks or so.
Every time you throw up your teeth get like that. They'll start falling out. Nobody wants to kiss someone with horrible breath and disgusting teet.
Every time you decide not to eat or throw up think about those boys above.
They're not even given the CHOICE whether to eat or not.
You are.
You're the lucky one.
Every time you throw something up that's another meal less for them.
Every time you waste food it's another day they'll also not be eating.
They'll probably be dead in a few days, months, years.
You've got a while yet.
So treat your life the right way. Don't hurt your body. Be good to it. I promise it'll be good to you. And learn to love yourself. You're an amazing human being whether you're a size 54 or 9 or 3. That's why We love you. No one'll ever be able to show it to you unless you show it to yourself first.
This probably isn't to you. But it could be. It could even possibly be just for me. But try to hear just one thing i've said now.
