yeah they both look terrible.
and i really think they both used to look nice, granted a bit skanky.
but they had curves, boobs, asses!!!!
they werent freakin all grasshopper looking.

now they either are on the anorexia train or doing the whitney houston diet.
both are equally gross.

you can stop if you choose to.
no one else can make you.
the choice to stop is ultimately yours.

i agree.
choosing to get well was one of the hardest things i have ever done in my life.
and it continues to be hard every day when i wake up and HAVE to eat.
but it is also one of the most amazing gifts i have given myself.

because i am a real person now.
i have a real life.
a real body, not a shell of one.
i go to school and can understand the material.
i have friends and i can eat in front of them.
i have a boyfriend who makes me feel beautiful.

i never had that before when i was starving myself.

it amazes me how nieve people can be.
how they can strive for something so completely ignorant and unfathomable.
we live in a country where it is luxury to starve ourselves.
we live in a world where emaciation, a sign of death, has become beautiful.

ridiculous.

on every article about the dangers of eating disorders that are out now, i want to cut out all the pictures of Mary Kate and even really emaciated and disguisting people and put that last picture - because sometimes it looks thin and hot and in control by today's standards, but the last one captures how it always feels.

YES!!!!!

i know this sounds sick but i kind of wish i had more autopsy photos to show people.

it does look glamorous when theres makeup and designer clothing and jewelry.
it looks enticing when you feel fat and disgusting after just eating.
even the emaciated photos can pull you in if you are in that mindset.

but a dead girl is a dead girl.
she is dead and gone and no one can save her and it isnt beautiful or perfect or lovely.

when i look at the last photo and i remember puking wondering as the tears ran down my face,
were they from the physical act of shoving my finger down my throat?
or from the fact that i was shoving my finger down my throat in order to be "pretty".
