Anorexia – My Struggle in Pictures

Update: Check out my new recovery video!
A slideshow about my 45 pound weight loss in a 2 month period due to my constant struggle with anorexia nervosa and poor body image. It started out as a healthy habit, but became obsessive in a short matter of time. I took pictures as a way of showing myself my so-called “progress.” I am sorry for the partial nudity if it offended anyone, and sorry if these photos are triggering in any way, it’s all meant for documentary purposes. If you, or someone close to you is experiencing symptoms of an eating disorder, get help before it’s too late:

last year i started dieting and it got out of control and i ended up losing 80 pounds in 3 months. i went into a hypoglycemic coma, and was admitted into an eating disorders treatment centre. i had extreme nerve damage and was paralyzed from the waist down for just over a month. anorexia is a terrible disease, and i was honestly SO much happier before i was that skinny! every day is a struggle, but i’ve been out of the hospital for 3 months now, and it’s getting easier, definetly day to day…

You’re pathetic! Stop being a wasteful bitch. What the is wrong with you? If you gave as much passion as you do in starving yourself, maybe you’d have something valuable to contribute to society.

It’s not porn, it’s reality. I took those pictures and was reluctant on putting them up for the world to see, it took a lot of strength but I need to get the word out.. I hate those pictures with my whole heart, and warned everyone in the side note. But they were the only ones where you could really see the bones. I kind of wish I would have blurred out more of my “private” parts though. I am sorry if I offended you, I had no intentions to
