Sometimes I wished I could develop an eating disorder- just for a few months, just long enough to lose some weight. I know that's really ignorant, but I sort of envy people who have the motivation and self-control to stop eating.

I said this today. Seriously.

I think this too. I know it's stupid. One of my friends from high school actually did have an eating disorder. I still think it.

I have. I lost the weight and get compliments. People from my past admire how 'beautiful' i've become. And now I can't stop because I am too afraid to go back, and food will always be a dirty little secret. It is not self control, its slavery.

I have an eating disorder, and I wish I was dead. It's taken over my life and there's nothing I can do about it. Don't ever wish this for anyone, especially yourself.

I spent all of college getting over my HS eating disorder/body image issues, and now that I'm a senior I'm starting to put on more weight. I'm terrified that I'm going to end up relapsing, but I'm more terrified about being fat.

this actually happened to me this year...i was on my way to developing a very real ED...and just as soon as the power and self control came over me, i lost it. i miss it. i miss the compliments from people. i miss trying on clothes that hadnt fit in forever.
it;s addictive. and it's lonely

There is nothing more controlling than an eating disorder. Besides, consciously developing one does not mean that you can just stop. You can't.

I used to have an eating disorder/disordered eating and am slowly getting over it. If there's anything that I have learned it's: to know that you are beautiful (because that's just the way it is), to stop comparing yourself to the rest of the world (you are different- cherish it), and to live your life in a way that truly makes you feel beautiful-- however that may be.
