Yes Finally Someone Said It

Yes finally someone said it

I would just like to point out that people with anorexia do actually eat. Sometimes it’s a lot of food and sometimes it’s nothing. A lot of the time it is very restricted amounts of food, but there is still food consumption involved, most often daily. There seems to be some pro-ana notion that anorexics never eat and if you eat even one thing, you’re not “anorexic”. This is very false and very stupid. There is a lot more to this ED than “not eating”. There is guilt and pain and total self hatred that you can’t stop. There are no cheat days. There are no breaks. Anorexics binge and it’s not “I ate an apple!!1! Omg binge”, it’s “jfc I literally ate 5lbs of food and my stomach feels like it might rip”.

I’m sorry, I just hate the fact that pro-anas act like anorexia is never eating and that’s it. Anorexics do eat.
