Just a short intro as to who I am: 24 yo college grad (nutrition), anorexic with occasional purges. As I type this I am in a corinary care unit where I have been for 3 weeks.
Here is something that I think is really important to say...
A TRUE eating disorder is not a lifestyle choice, it is an illness. It's not glamorous, it's not perfection, this is not living... without a life how can it be a LIFEstyle choice... no this is a way to die. I've been dead the last 13 years... breathing is just a technicality. I've lost everything. Dreams... Friends... Lovers... Education... Career... Success... Childhood... LIFE. Now i'm in my young adulthood and that too is being eaten up!
You can't chose to have cancer, you can't chose to have bipolar, you don't chose to be shitzophrenic or suffer Dissasociative Identity Disorder (DID). You can't choose to be anorexic... you can pretend, you can mimic... but honestly why would you want to?
I just don't understand why someone would want to try to develop this lifelong battle that will end in a premature death... ↓
