Anorexia

Dear Anorexia By Talia J. Benzaken (not me) Dear Anorexia, It's time to say goodbye. If we stay together any longer, I know that I will die. We've been together for a while, and shared our secrets, I know. It's hard for me to say this, but it's time to let you go. Mommy warned me of your ways, and how you didn't treat me right. When I told you of her worries, you only put up a fight. You made me poke my stomach, and squeeze my meatless thighs. And though I was only skin and bones, I saw fat and hatred through your eyes. With all the pain I had to suffer, and the hunger I went through, I realize I'm much better off not to be with you. So as I tell you my last words, and bid you my farewell. I can feel myself regaining strength, and cannot wait to tell. You will soon find another, to haunt her and to scare. and I only hope that she, too, will show you she doesn't care. I know that you will want to stay, and pressure me to try. But I am telling you now and for good, Goodbye Anorexia. Goodbye. So, I thought this might be a good thing to post for those people who suffer from eating disorders. They're a horrible disease to have and I hope that anyone who has one or who has suffered from one heals completely.

    i totally agree with lapetitemoi. im concered "in recovery" for EDNOS, yet I know I will have to deal with those thoughts for the rest of my life. I have a chemical imbalance in my brain..and i most certainly did not choose to have it. good blog!

    1) That model is photoshopped. I've seen the real photo, and yes, she is thin, but not emaciated.
    2) The letter is definitely interesting.
    3) Someone with an eating disorder does not "heal completely." They battle the thoughts the rest of their life because it is a mental illness, just like schizophrenia or depression, ya know?

    You're trying to put out a good message, though, and I commend you on that.
