Disorders Should Not Be Romanticized

4/27/15
Eating disorders are not fun. They're not to be romanticized. Do not talk about them and wish you had one. It's not a good thing. There are detrimental effects done to your body because of it. You're weak, always cold and tired. Your hair begins to thin and fall out and you lose an excessive amount of weight. I understand you may not be happy with your body and that you think you're not good enough because other people said that but why do you care? Why do you care what other people say? So what if that guy/girl doesn't like you because you're "too fat" or "too skinny". WHY DOES IT MATTER. They are one person. An insignificant, incompetent person. One that does not deserve you. Don't starve yourself because some girl/guy told you to. Don't binge because your family tells you you're too skinny. Having an eating disorder is not fun and I have first hand experience with it. I was anorexic before for a few months and then bulimic. I thought I was fat because I had a gut in fifth grade. I mean c'mon I was going through puberty. But I felt shitty. I starved myself and I lost a lot of weight and it affected my health. I became weak and sick and depressed. In the beginning of 7th grade I was bulimic. Girls used to, and still do, tell me that I was fat. I became envious and wanted so desperately to be thin. To be like them. I look back on it now and realize how stupid it is. Why did I put myself through that all because of a few unimportant people? People talk
shit because they're jealous. If someone is calling you fat it's because they're insecure and they need someone to take it out on. Hey, you've got a fat ass and big boobs, they're jealous. If someone tells you you're too skinny it's probably because they didnt make the cheer team or because they envy and crave your collar bones and thigh gap. And guys, you're not alone. I know you have eating disorders too but don't pay attention to what people say. I know its hard but don't fall into the pit of inferiority, drive around it. Don't put yourself through that because of them. Don't do that. I love you okay? and I don't even know what im saying anymore but if you need to talk to someone I am here. Just don't harm yourself. It's not worth it.
