    Eating disorders are hell. For those of you who want one, try vomiting your dinner and see how fun that is.
    Yeah, sounds like great fun.
    Idiots.

    i have read every single one of your comments, and i have to say, it has made me think so much about my decision to get better.
    i’d just like to make clear, i am not pro-anorexic, in any way.

    for the last two years i have been a self harmer and a compulsive under-eater. no, not diagnosed. i’m not proud of it. it’s an absolute nightmare to look at food and just the sight of it makes you want to throw up. i’ve never been anorexic, and i’ve never turned for help.

    i’m speaking out against this, because i understand that some people have been living this way, for as long as they can remember. i wish them all the luck in the world for their recovery.

    it’s to the wannabes who spell every other word wrong telling people here how they’d like tips to become “ana” and how all they want to be is thin.
    thin’s not beautiful. i was thinking exactly the same way as all you girls here, thinking if i’m thinner people will like me more.

    two days ago i realised i’m ruining my life. we only live once. there are so many people in this world that are a lot worse off than me. why should i starve out of choice when people out there have no food to begin with? why should i cut myself to feel something, when i can have fun, and be a normal human being.

    i hope one day you grow up, and realise the impact you’re making on yourselves, and your families and friends. i’m not saying this to hurt anyone, offend anyone or encourage anything. i’m speaking out, because i want to.

    if people don’t like you because you’re not skinny enough for them, they’re not worth the bother. if you actually took the time to realise the impact it can make on your life, “deciding to be anorexic” then maybe you wouldn’t just “decide”.

    it’s a disease, and it needs to be treated and diagnosed properly. not some wannabe thirteen year old saying they’re “so0o0o0 ana” because they starve for a day.

    i’m fourteen, by the way. i’m around if anyone needs to talk, [my website isn't related to ana at all by the way- it's a photography website] but if you’re one of those wannabes then please, don’t bother.

    good luck to those recovering, and those “pro-ana” communities really need to be banned. i appreciate some of them encourage recovery, though.

    best wishes, and such.

    hannah, 14.
