I am forever engaged in a silent battle in my head over whether or not to lift the fork to my mouth, and when I talk myself into doing so, I taste only shame. I have an eating disorder.

About This Quote

A lot of times when someone is living with an eating disorder, they feel like they can’t say anything because it will sound crazy. They think others can’t understand what they are going through and that they will just think the person is on their period or on some other weird excuse. While that is usually true, there are some people who will actually get it. An eating disorder is a real thing and it is very real for people who have it.

It sounds crazy and it feels crazy and it is very real. But, for those people who get it, they will be more than willing to help you through your recovery or recovery from recovery.
