43060) It’s weird that when I see pictures of dangerously thin girls, I don’t envy and find it attractive. But when it comes to myself, I go to so many extremes to lose as much weight as possible like I’ll never be satisfied with my body. Healthy doesn’t look good on me.

"I had thought my eating disorder showed me strength and willpower, but I realized that the harder thing to do was not engage in behaviors and notice how much stronger I felt each time I disobeyed it. I noticed how much more people genuinely enjoyed my company when I was not using my eating disorder behaviors and how much more love I got when I was doing the harder thing. I finally realized that I wanted to live and have relationships more than I wanted my eating disorder."

"You can’t starve yourself indefinitely. Either you start to eat because your body and mind just can’t take it any more, someone else forces you to eat, or you die. It’s not a self-sustaining system.

It has a type of “payoff.” Starving made me feel better. Life… didn’t. I was good at an eating disorder but I sucked at life. I couldn’t quite figure it out."
