I know a girl who was anorexic/bulimic. She was so beautiful, but she never felt good enough because her family and friends were all stick thin. She went weeks without eating anything. She would just drink black coffee and exercise like crazy. One day she passed out and had to be rushed to the hospital. Her stomach had shrunk to the size of a quarter. If she had decided to suddenly eat more than a tablespoon of food her stomach would explode. She was hospitalized for months, only allowed to see one family member or friend a week and all of their visits were supervised. She wasn’t allowed to go to the bathroom with someone watching her. She had to drink really nasty smoothies everyday until her stomach had stretched enough for her to eat real food. It’s five years later and she’s not allowed to exercise at all. She almost died, and she was gorgeous before she ever did any of this shit. Beauty isn’t a size. Who gives a shit if you weigh a few pounds too much? You’re beautiful.
