Anorexic isn't pretty. It's not dieting, or skipping a meal to shed a pound or so. It's starving yourself. It's killing yourself slowly. It's not a cake pop once and a while with pretty icing or a mini cupcake to feel better. It's fearing to gain a pound. It's crying and feeling ugly because you see yourself as fat. Not anyone else. It's all just you. It's not pretty.

Bulimia is not pretty. It's not eating then running or playing to lose the weight. It's forcing the weight off. It's not a beautiful boy holding your hand as you vomit telling you it's ok. It's not good forcing yourself to vomit. It's crying and regretting eating and feeling sick all the time. It's no pretty. It's not gonna make you pretty. It's all just you. And you're not pretty like that.
