You wanna know what happens when you're starving?
Your hair gets thin and limp. Noticeably. You donāt have enough nutrients to help it stay healthy.
You get so. Fucking. Cold. All the time. People donāt want to touch you, because youāre so cold. Youāll be shivering under a blanket, in a hot tub, by a fire, wherever you are.
Youāve heard that seeing food will be upsetting? You have no idea. Even if itās nowhere near you, or on a screen, or in the hands of a stranger, youāll resent it because you want it. Some nights youāll start crying because you miss it so much.
Everything will become numbers. You arenāt just walking your dog anymore, youāre counting the minutes and calories youāre burning. You arenāt enjoying a warm day, youāre trying to figure out if the higher temperatures are making your heart rate go up so you burn faster.
Your social life will die. Youāll be skittish and avoid people when they have food in case they offer some. Youāll say no to parties and dates and meet-ups because you think there might be food. Youāll grow paranoid, terrified of people finding out. Youāll start to despise people who love you solely because they want to help.
Youāll hurt. That pang in your chest? Itās probably because youāre not eating. Your stomach? Say goodbye to its silence. Your butt? Itāll hurt whenever you sit down. Youāll get headaches, heart pains, even breathing will eventually become exhausting.
And eventually, youāll die. Maybe you ate more than usual and couldnāt 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.
Donāt let the āpro anaāsā fool you, this isnāt 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.
Donāt do this to yourselves, you gorgeous humans. You deserve to live. You deserve friends. You deserve love.
