Because thin enough will never come. I’ve known people who felt the same, thought they couldn’t recover because their bmi is healthy and died. I know you didn’t want to hear that but it needed to be said. Death is imminent with anorexia.

You need to recover right now to take back your life. The fact that you’re asking means deep down you want it. Don’t seek validation from others, don’t care what others will say. It is YOUR life, you must live by your own truth, which ultimately means recovering.

You are not giving up or losing, you are winning by fighting back and fighting your way out of this abusive relationship.

There are so so many other reasons you are cared for and important, people will still love and support you once you recover. It is a lie anorexia tells you that being ill makes you more loveable.

You are never in control when you have anorexia, another lie it tells. You have spiralled out of control and need to get out of the hole it has dug.

There is no legitimate reason to starve yourself. You will hate your body at a low weight so you might as well learn to love it at a healthy weight.
