I found a post about anorexia, and with the authors permission, I dicided to share it with you.

Isn't the life of the anorexics glamorous?
How we choose not to eat, all so we can be beautiful, thin, and desired by all.
We set our goals to lose weight, and once we reach it we decide to extend our goal even further.
It's not that we're coping with something, or that this is the one area we can have perfect in our life; it's so we can look like models or real life barbies.
The obsessive exercise- it's not because we feel we have to burn off as much fat or as many calories as possible, it's because we just love being active!
Having a panic attack just from looking at the nutrition facts of something... that just for show, it's not real.
After seeing a person who is morbidly obese- when we freak out; become terrified of looking like that; go out for long, strenuous runs; and refuse to eat;- that's just us being silly.
When our menstrual cycles cease, it's not that big of deal, just one less thing to deal with every month.
When our heart rate lowers, when our hearts beat slower- there's no need to be concerned.
When you can see almost every bone in our bodies and we still feel fat; that doesn't mean there's actually something wrong with our minds, right?
When the doctors tell us we're going to die if we don't eat, yet we still refuse; that's just us being selfish.
When we become so fragile, we can't sleep comfortably because we're too bony; that isn't that big of a deal.
We can being freezing cold, because we don't have enough body fat to heat our bodies; yet we won't except warm soup or anything type of food to help warm us- that's just us being stubborn.

Don't you just envy the life of an anorexic? How we make up this so-called 'disease' so we can have a perfect life. We gain control of every aspect of our lives, become beautiful, and get to live our "happily-ever-after" life.
For those of you out there that believe eating disorders are not real, that think we can choose to turn it off we just don't, or that wish they had eating disorders- you're wrong! Eating disorders take over your life, they are extremely real. It gets to the point even if you wish you could eat normally, you can't, there's this voice that controls you and it won't let you. Eating disorders are not a quick fix for shedding that extra weight, they're real mental illnesses. Wishing you had one is like wishing you had cancer, it's wishing for a disease.
