anorexia is like a competition…
Round right up, round right up!
Who can get to the lowest weight?
You’re BMI is 16?! This young lady is 15.5, you lose! Ah, hold on folks, we have a BMI of 12 over here. You’re the running winner.
You exercise four hours a day? Ah, sorry - we have someone over here who does 4 hours, 15 minutes! Lose!
You only eat 100 calories a day? No way! Other young ladies eat nothing, boo you.
You even took up purging? Weak! Why were you eating in the first place?
You were admitted to inpatient for a week? Who cares, doesn’t beat the people who get admitted on-off for years!
Any other takers?
Oh yeah, you. You’re dead. You are the winner!
Stop trying to be sick. You will not win anything from your eating disorder.
