There once was a 16 year old girl who desperately wanted to be noticed. She wanted nothing more than to fit in, be popular, and ultimately feel loved.
She started a diet to be “more healthy” and started running to get “in shape”. She lost a few pounds and people noticed. She soon began to feel a “high” every time she saw the number go down on the scale. It gave her a sense of accomplishment. She started to feel attractive.
Food and losing weight quickly became all she thought about during the day. It consumed all of her thoughts and dictated every decision. She ended up losing 40 lbs off her very normal sized frame that summer. Her fixation with food became her best friend. It was what she turned to to cope with life on a day-to-day basis.
From there came obsession, isolation, depression, anxiety, and eventually hopelessness. Her eating disorder had completely taken over her life by the time she hit college, and she would continue to struggle with anorexia and bulimia nervosa into her mid 20s.
