i can tell whenever anyone finds out i'm anorexic the thought, "but i thought anorexics were perfectly skinny...or even too skinny" crosses their mind. i know i'm not fat. but i'm not anorexically thin either. which brings the next thought: "she's obviously not very committed". a lot of the time people become anorexic because it is something they can control in their lives. so apparently i can't even really control that.
to avoid people thinking these thoughts i told people for a long time, if the subject of my having an eating disorder had to come up, that i used to be anorexic. that explains the figure that doesn't exactly scream, "all she has eaten today is a half of a piece of toast!".
but honestly, i am anorexic. and it is completely exhausting.
