"A cultural fixation on female thinness is not an obsession about female beauty but an obsession about female obedience." -Naomi Wolf
Be a goddamn rebel!!

There is no magic cure, no making it all go away forever. There are only small steps upward; an easier day, an unexpected laugh, a mirror that doesn't matter anymore.
-----------------------
We turn skeletons into goddesses and look to them as if they might teach us how not to need.
-----------------------
And when you crush an apple with your teeth, say to it in your heart:
Your seeds shall live in my body,
And the buds of your tomorrow shall blossom in my heart,
And your fragrance shall be my breath,
And together we shall rejoice through all the seasons.

The only number that would ever be enough is 0. Zero pounds, zero life, size zero, double-zero, zero point. Zero in tennis is love. I finally get it.
Zero is for tennis not your body.

I’ve never had anorexia, but I know it well. I see it on the street, in the gaunt and sunken face, the boney chest, the spindly arms of an emaciated woman. I’ve come to recognize the flat look of despair, the hopelessness that follows, inevitably, from years of starvation. I think: That could have been [me]. It wasn’t. It’s not.
It doesn't have to be you either
-------------------------
Anorexia is not an illness of the body; it is an illness of the mind.
----------------------
Anorexia cannot be cured by treating the physical symptoms alone; it is the mind which must be treated.
-----------------------
If you think my waistline defines my worth, you are not worth my time anyways.
