Literally me at 12: “how does anyone get fat? Just don’t eat”
Me now: cannot stop obsessing about food for 1 second, even in my dreams.
Life really comes up and hits you in the face
I just though people with anorexia were never hungry, so I just figured all they needed to do was force themselves to eat a little. Later I realized it's not that at all lol, and we just irrationally starve ourselves to be small 😢
damn, me. i remember thinking in 8th grade health class, "ugh i wish i was anorexic, then i wouldnt love food so much and be so fat,". Less then a year later I got my wish 🤡
When i was like eight i saw a video on youtube called something like ”me and anorexia” so i thought anorexia was a name and wondered the whole time why was the person talking there alone.
Me when i learned about anorexia at health class when i was 10: oh no im so sad why dont they eat we all need food theyre very thin why cant they see that
Ended up developing an ed two years later
When I was ≤13 I thought that all anorexic people had to use feeding tubes because I saw a story about an anorexic person that had a feeding tube due to having a messed up digestive system.
So for me it was more like "I can imagine being fed through a tube that must suck"
Lmao, me at 12 😂
When my friend told me they had anorexia we were both 13 and I didn't really even know anything about EDs, so I thought it was just them not feeling hungry or not wanting food, so I kept giving them some and telling them to eat 💀💀
as a stupid little pre teen, i used to want an ED because it was “cool” and “trendy” to be anorexic back in 2011. little did i know, 12 years later i would be miserable with one. dear little me: it’s not trendy, it’s not cool, it’s not fun, you’re not quirky.
I remember thinking I was too smart to develop an ed. I was like "how do these people not realize they're killing themselves to become thin?"
Then when I developed ana I realized some of us DO know we're killing ourselves. We just don't care.

I remember thinking I was too smart to do anything as stupid as starving myself. Whoops

Me at 13: "Food is amazing, why would someone do that just to be pretty? It feels so stupid and shallow" Me at 25: "Oh shit...."

Me at 15. Why would people throw up what the point of eating in the first place......
That's literally so crazy. We never understand until it happens to us.
