⚠️ eating disorders ⚠️
In todays world
Looks mean more than personality
You either have to be thin
Or thick in only the right places
Some people though
Weren't born thick or thin
We were born normal
But we want to be beautiful
So we stop eating
Or we purge
Or both
We say we have it under control
But do we?
I mean sure at first we do
But what happens when you get used to the feeling of being empty?
What happens when the thought of food starts making you feel nauseous?
And when eating more than 300 calories a day makes you feel fat?
But still, we say we have it under control
We say what we want to believe
Even though deep down we know we the truth
We know its not under control
We watch as our bodies grow thinner
And even once we hit our ideal weight
Which is always set too low
We don't start eating again
Because of the fear that we will gain weight
