You should love your body (and stop being a pro-ana if you are) because:
- from the first moment of your life, it started to develop a complex organism preparing you for life through DNA
- it has bones and muscles to stay on your feet, to let you do a lot of activities, to enjoy your life. Every shape of every different bone is there not for showing them more than it’s normal. And you must have MUSCLES, bones are not enough, you must see muscles on you to be able to have a good time.
- it has eyes to let you see the world you live in, to see its beauty and YOUR beauty.More than that, eyes are a complex mechanism with a lot of components working together for that.
- it has another 4 senses at least as same as complex. One of them is TASTE, not for letting you starving, but for being able to choose the healthiest food, that it’s also delicious.
- your digestive system chooses what’s good for you, to be healthy and to have a long life. For example, vitamin A help you to see better the details around you. And starvation is the way this system tells you that it needs energy and essential nutrients, not because it’s selfish, but for YOU TO LIVE. If you don’t eat your food, your body will take these nutrients from you, using your fat, but if there’s no fat, it will use your muscles for energy. It’s the worst thing. How will you do your daily activities without muscles? More than that, if you continue eating less than a baby does, at one point this digestive system will not be able to take any more food, because it learned from you to not accept food. How can you live if there are no more energy and nutrients?
- it has a heart that will not stop beating if you hate yourself. This heart loves you and wants you to live healthy and happy.
- it has a brain that has somewhere between 85 and 100 BILLIONS of neurons and EACH ONE has 10000 connections. This brain is not in your body to hate it, it’s not there to make starve yourself to death. It’s there to coordinate the whole organism for living, to make you able to have your private thoughts, to make you able to live your life, to do something with it.
- your body heals you everytime you get sick. How? It developed a mechanism in killing fatal intruders. For what? For you to live. Another way, many of us would have been dead just from catching a cold.
- it has another very important and very complex systems that keeps you alive
- it lets you have feelings. What would we be without feelings? We have to love our parents who gave us a LIFE, whatever they said to you, they are the one who gave you this life and that’s why you have to respect them and your life.
- even fat has its functions: for certain vitamins absorbtion, because they are fat-soluble. If you don’t have enough fat, you become deficient in these vitamins; it maintains proper body temperature and it PROTECTS you from extreme temperature changes; it will provide you energy when you will REALLY need it.
You have to love your body because it’s made from a lot of cells that are your best friends forever because they don’t stop their hard work on keeping you alive. RESPECT YOUR BODY AND YOUR LIFE! Your body is the way you live, you have to do something with your life for this world: making a family, being happy with other humans. You are not alone, you don’t have to isolate yourself from society. Sometimes you have to listen to the people around you, they want you to be ok, they care of you. If it was not this way, maybe humans wouldn’t even exist. So, just take a look of the world you live in, and do something for it. That’s the meaning of life.
