The act of eating is defined as "the process of taking food through the mouth." However this is not true. Eating makes you go against everything you are told. To be told that the only way to succeed in life is to be thin and pretty. However to come to the realization that the expectations are a mere fantasy. Now you're drinking Ensure because you're too scared to even put a piece of celery in my mouth. The love of going out to eat with your friends is gone and now you look for ways to hide what little food you've ordered in your napkin without your friends suspecting or conspiring. Or going to the bathroom at least two times to throw up what little food you've eaten. Now you can't even eat a banana without thinking about how many calories it contains because of the engrained counter in your haunting mind. "Eat an apple, no it's 150 calories." "Eat a banana, no it's 90 calories." Food will become your enemy forever haunting you in your sleep. And make you stumble into the oblivion.
