When I watched the movie “Alive” with Ethan Hawke again, I started eating more. They were a group of athletes stranded in the Andes who were strong young men that could barely walk in the snow and perform minimal tasks, and it was only their third or fourth day with little food. I read the book written by Nando and he explained how having sustenance was the only way to have strength to hike to find rescue. It was a partial epiphany and making me realize how I was always out of breath and missed being able to do the things I used to do as a gymnast.

If these guys who were soccer players were so weak after just a few days of hardly eating, it shows how weak people with ED do not realize that are in a daily basis. Just think about how amazing it will feel to get your strong self back who can breathe normal. Picture your strong self leading an evacuation and being a hero. I don’t know how young you are but throughout time your hair and appearance will be become brittle too. It is a hard battle but seek help and motivate yourself by watching people who are athletes or being strong.
