Everything Tastes Better Than Skinny Feels
Anorexia recovery is an uphill struggle; let me tell you why its worth it. 'Skinny' doesn't always feel good Most eating disorders are usually a product of other mental health issues, or of something else going on in your life. For many anorexia sufferers, a bad break up, or an anxiety attack, or any number of other negative circumstances can make them feel out of control. So, what do they do? Focus on things they can control. Namely: what they eat. Anorexia Nervosa is most commonly caused by negative mental health, or a preoccupation with body image (over-exposure to social media and toxic body ideals can have a huge impact), and sufferers often think that restricting what they eat, or being ‘skinny’ will make them feel better.
