Anemia

As someone who’s had anemia since only a couple weeks after her disorder started, I can tell you it’s one of the fastest happening downfalls of a restrictive diet. I am constantly tired, I’m pale and everything constantly feels weak and painful. I tell my doctor I get the proper nutrition which is such a lie to get iron caplets but even then it’s not enough. So here’s a warning: if you’re new here, and planning on restricting and under eating and fasting, leave. Now. It might feel good at first but within a couple weeks you’ll be weak, and you’ll be obsessed. Like I said; I’m not anywhere near under weight but because of my diet I am:

• constantly exhausted

• very weak, almost frail

• so so fucking pale, some days I look so much like a ghost people ask if I’m sick or if I’ve eaten today because I look like a *chubby* ghost

• My muscles are weak so even a small amount of exercise makes me feel sore

• A lot of times parts of my body hurt for absolutely no reason

So Please don’t do this. Just run. Get off this blog, get off these tags, get off this website. I promise it’s not worth it.
