it's sad that anorexia and bulimia is a thing. it is.
first of all, you should never blame the victim for this, you would have to blame society in this matter. you shouldn't say "you have food! some people don't have food, you're lucky! just eat it!" im pretty sure that would make them feel worse about themselves.
anorexia and bulimia are eating disorders. anorexia is when you starve yourself, and bulimia is when you binge then throw up everything. NEITHER OF THEM ARE HEALTHY.
people don't think "oh, I'm going to starve myself because i feel like it." that's not how it works. people don't think "oh, I am fortunate to have this food, but I'm going to starve myself just because." that's not how it works.
it happens because of society. it happens because people think being skinny is so important. having a thigh gap is so important. BUT ITS NOT.
PSA for anyone who has said "you probably shouldn't eat that, it's fattening," or "you're fat already, you probably shouldn't add to it," or something along those lines:
shove glass up your butt. pls. and shut up. we don't need to hear you.
different people put on weight differently. some girls may shorter, but then have more curves. some people may be tall. but also skinny. they can't change how their weight is put.
also, don't say "stop eating."
IF YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED, FOOD IS IMPORTANT TO SURVIVAL.
I didn't know that looking skinny is more important than survival. wow. what's next, looking dehydrated is in? not breathing is the next cool trend? all the hottest celebrities just decided to sell their homes because it's cool to live on the streets?
to any of you that are bulimic or anorexic: don't feel bad that you are like this. please, don't. blame it on society. but also, please try to get better. try to eat. it may be hard, but try to eat. go eat a salad, eat a cupcake, eat a slice of pizza, I don't know, just try to eat something. also, don't throw it up. if anyone tells you to eat less, eat them.
I love you c:
