When I Was Anorexic It

I'm Not Quite As Limber, But For My Peers And My Age Group, I'm Still Top Notch!

I Finally Understood That By Being On A Perpetual Diet, I Had Practiced A "disordered" Form Of Eating My Whole Life. I Restricted When I Was Hungry And In Need Of Nutrition And Binged When I Was So Grotesquely Full I Couldn't Be Comfortable In Any Position By Lying Down. Diets That Tell People What To Eat Or When To Eat Are The Practices Inbetween. And Dieting, I Discovered, Was Another Form Of Disordered Eating, Just As Anorexia And Bulimia Similarly Disrupt The Natural Order Of Eating.

When I Was Anorexic It Just Seemed Like I Literally Wanted To Disappear. And Now I Would Like To Reappear.
