Much of the comment thread seems to follow the logic that anorexia is about the sufferer’s desire to be fashionable and ‘thin’. It isn’t.
It isn’t about that at all. How would I know?This was me, twenty years ago:
Possible captions for this photo:
“I’m hungry for genuine communication and love. Food is such a poor and empty substitute.”"The environment that ‘nourished’ me was poisonous and now I am dis-eased.”
“I need to be allowed to control what goes into my body. I have the right to refuse.“
I can”t feel hunger because I learned that it is not safe for my soul to inhabit my body”
My body was speaking. No one around me understood its language. Not even me.
I was repulsed and nauseated by the things that were done to me
