It does vary per person, but most anorexics do have issues with food. It is human nature to want to eat and to feel hungry. Humans, as do all living things, need food for energy and to live. Anorexics try and refuse to eat, or eat as little as possible. Food can be seen as a sin, a temptation, the "enemy", and many other different ways depending on the individual.
Horrible. You are constantly cold. You can't concentrate. You can't move from one place to another without feeling exhausted. You can't even wash your hair properly because you will feel very tired and weak. WEAK. That is what you feel. Dizzy. Light headed. Every time you stand up, everything goes black and it is like you are going to pass out. You cannot sleep at night. You are exhausted but you cannot sleep. It is stressful. Every time you eat something, even if it is a stick of celery, you hate yourself for it. Pain. My stomach is always in pain. Growling every second of the day begging me for food, but I'm too selfish to give it food. i care more about what i look like than my health. i could die at any second. it scares me, oh does it scare me. yet i ignore it. i ignore the fact that i can wound up having cancer, losing my teeth, and all the other horrible things. I want to eat. I want to be normal. Just like everyone else. I really want to order a box of Pizza and just eat it all just like a normal teenager. yet i can't. it is controlling me again. it tells me not to. i hate the feeling of being hungry. yet i love it. i love the feeling of starving because it makes me feel thin. I lie in my bed every night thinking, "you have a pantry full of food, a fridge full of food, and a healthy body. there are people who do not have even the slightest bit of food and would trade their lives with yours. You are not deaf or blind. no problems at all. you are blessed. you are healthy. yet you are destroying everything inside of you. you are killing yourself slowly. i know that. yet i ignore it. i was bullied all my life, the worst kind of bullying. i was a confident child who loved life, who smiled all the time. healthy. cracking jokes. making everyone laugh. eating just like a normal kid. now i hate it. i hate life. i am depressed. i don't smile anymore. i don't make jokes. i am thin. i look in the mirror and i cannot find that child. it horrifies me. i cry every time. i don't look like myself. my eyes look dead. my life is too in control. i have depression, an eating disorder and i most likely have a mental problem. I have tried to get help. everyone tries to help. the more i think about it, the worse i get. i hate it all i just hate it. i want it to stop but i can't. and when i am getting better.... i only get worse. i fall right back. it sucks it really does."
This is what goes through my mind all day long. It is really bad. i haven't eaten for 3 days now. it is horrible. i try but i can't. love who you are. love yourself. don't worry about what other people think about you. worry about your health and family. be happy. live life.
