explaing my eating disorder to my mom


No mom , its not because of a boy.
No it has nothing to do with school.
Just leave me alone , I can't explain it!

No it's not anorexia!
Only thin people get anorexia , mom!
No mom , I'm not skinny
I'm not beautiful
I'm not perfect so STOP LYING!

I want to stop eating , but im starving.

colar bones
hip bones
thigh gaps

these are my motivation.

I want to be skinny.
I want to be beautiful.
I want to be perfect.
