I love that, in the ana community, we don’t shit on people’s starting weights.
You started at 250 and therefore were medically obese before you got sick? That’s okay. I’m sorry for your sickness.
You started at 150 and so was only slightly more than healthy and what may have been an attempt to lose a few pounds became a tragic illness? That’s okay. I’m sorry for your sickness.
You started at 130, and was physically healthy beforehand but this is not a healthy option so you’re not anymore? That’s okay. I’m sorry for your sickness.
You started underweight already, but you can’t stop seeing yourself as obese? That’s okay. I’m sorry for your sickness.
We don’t care about people’s starting weights because one pound down on one person brings a smile to a lot of other people’s faces.
Anorexia is a sickness, and it shouldn’t be praised, no matter what. When we congratulate people on losing weight, we’re pushing ourselves to do the same. It’s fucked up and we know it.
But you can get better. And it’ll all be over one day.
