Why Do I Have An Eating Disorder?
I read a vogue magazine once
I wanted to be more mature
I wanted to be a child again
I was bored of how I looked
I was called 'fat' once
I needed more control over myself
I needed someone to look after me
I wanted to deny myself a basic human need
I was in so much pain that I needed more
I lost weight and I couldn't stop
I found something I was good at
I ran out of ways to destroy myself
All of these reasons and none of these reasons. I think maybe it had been simmering beneath my skin for years before I stopped eating.
