Your hair gets thin and limp. Noticeably. You don’t have enough nutrients to help it stay healthy.
You get so. Fucking. Cold. All the time. People don’t want to touch you, because you’re so cold. You’ll be shivering under a blanket, in a hot tub, by a fire, wherever you are.
You’ve heard that seeing food will be upsetting? You have no idea. Even if it’s nowhere near you, or on a screen, or in the hands of a stranger, you’ll resent it because you want it. Some nights you’ll start crying because you miss it so much.
Everything will become numbers. You aren’t just walking your dog anymore, you’re counting the minutes and calories you’re burning. You aren’t enjoying a warm day, you’re trying to figure out if the higher temperatures are making your heart rate go up so you burn faster.
Your social life will die. You’ll be skittish and avoid people when they have food in case they offer some. You’ll say no to parties and dates and meet-ups because you think there might be food. You’ll grow paranoid, terrified of people finding out. You’ll start to despise people who love you solely because they want to help.
You’ll hurt. That pang in your chest? It’s probably because you’re not eating. Your stomach? Say goodbye to its silence. Your butt? It’ll hurt whenever you sit down. You’ll get headaches, heart pains, even breathing will eventually become exhausting.
And eventually, you’ll die. Maybe you ate more than usual and couldn’t handle the thought of gaining, and exercised so much that your heart overexerted itself. Maybe you actually did gain, and that enough was enough to make you swallow a handful of pills. Maybe your blood pressure lowered to fatal levels, or maybe you passed out and hit your head on a table.
It all ends the same.
Don’t let the “pro ana’s” fool you, this isn’t a glamorous lifestyle. This is a deadly and painful illness.
I feel like a lot of people need to remember that before they skip their meals.
Don’t do this to yourselves, you gorgeous humans. You deserve to live. You deserve friends. You deserve love.
You deserve to eat.
it’s very important
So please please eat. It isn’t worth it, I swear. So what if you want to lose weight? that isn’t bad. The problem is starving yourself. eat a healthy balanced meal and exercise well, but don’t hurt yourself this way. You are gorgeous the way you are. Don’t be afraid to ask for help baby.
This is such an issue these days. Especially when you see others starving themselves on social media and those people on social media only show the fat they are losing, and the calories they are burning, while they hide those things like hair loss and the immense pain they are going through. Please, don’t starve yourself, if you really want to lose weight, then there are super healthy ways to do it instead.
By starving yourself and showing others the results only and not the painful process will encourage others to do it as well, and those people will feel that something’s wrong with them once they realize how painful it truly is. And they’ll blame their selves and there bodies even more and never feel good enough. And in this way the cycle of self-hate never ends.
Just remember in general that you are loved, and if you don’t feel it coming from the people around you, then remember:
I love you for the lovely way you are.
