When I first looked up #Pro Ana, i didn’t think my life would end up being like… this.
Okay y’all read:
I wish someone told me what it was like to have anorexia when I googled pro ana in 2014. I was 12.
I wish someone told me that my Thinspo was a result of unhealthy lifestyle.
I wish someone told me to not go on ana blogs.
This is not an admirable lifestyle, this is nowhere fun or a game. Run the fuck away while you still can, DONT LET THEM TRICK YOU INTO THIS LIFESTYLE.
Seriously, my biggest fear is that someone healthy sees this and considers entering this community.
BECAUSE THIS WAS THE BEGINNING OF THIS DISEASE!!
I know,
You think it’s a choice, I know you think you can stop once you reach your ugw, I know you think you have it under control – but lemme tell ya:
You’re wrong
It starts with a simple diet. 1600 kcals become 1200, 1200 become 900. 900 become 600 and 600 turn into 300.
Being aware of what you eat becomes being aware of every single calorie that you could consume in any way.
A wish turns into an obsession.
You think you lose 5 pounds then you stop.
But 5lbs turn into 10.
10 turn into 15.
15 turn into 30.
And once you reach your goal weight, it won’t magically stop.
I know you’re too fat to have this disease, I know you don’t deserve recovery.
It’s never too late to seek help. You deserve recovery.
Talk to your teacher, your parents, or your friends.
