Why Some Sacrifices to Be Thin Aren’t Worth It
I open my eyes and am welcomed by the soft lull of dusk. I check my phone: 5:33 AM. I roll my eyes and try to think positively to myself, "Great. At least I got five hours tonight." I roll my body off the side of the bed and hear a soft thud when my feet meet the floor. I instinctively walk to the bathroom with my eyes half-closed, finally settling beside the toilet and gripping my stomach. This is the glamour that I get to experience now because I sacrificed my body’s functionality to be thin. I thought I would only be spending a few years beside a toilet bowl but that time has now turned into five, because of the physical damage that have been caused by Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa.
