Dying to be Thin - Comments

The summary is beautiful. It's haunting and it makes you think for a second about whether or not you really want to dive into this story. But I did. I regret nothing. This is something that should be published for millions to see. It deserves an award for honesty and raw emotion and downright fucking brilliance.
I applaud you. You are really talented. I love this. It's not a story anymore, it's artwork. <3

PLEASE keep going?!

She should let go of Ana.
Ana's a big, fat liar and doesn't deserve friends.

Commenting again.
You are inspiring. I was anorexic in my freshman year of high school, and I finally beat Ana during my sophomore year. It was hard, harder than anyone who hasn't had to go through this can even imagine. It isn't a choice, and I hate that people are commenting and saying that they can't understand why people are anorexic or bulimic. I couldn't face myself for a long time after I stopped listening to Ana. I was so scared that if I thought about her or read about her or wrote about her she would come back. You are amazing and wonderful and incredibly strong for writing about this, and I respect you so, so much. Please keep writing. It's making me stronger.

this is amazing.
and incredibly, incredibly true.
keep writing.

Sad, but amazing writing skills. sad story though
glad u are in recovery
iam so proud of you
please do take a look at mine.

ima srubsribe to yours because i want to find out what happens.

hope she wins!

This is really good...

Wow.

Wow.

I can't remember, is this current? Or is it something you USED to suffer from?
Because if it's current? You need to get help, honey.

First, I'm going to applaud you on your writing.
It's lovely really,
how you write.

Secondly, I'm going to ask if things have gotten better?
Bulimia is entirely an awful thing to go through..
I know, trust me.
My best friend and I,
we competed,
see who could lose the most weight,
she was bulimic, and I was anorexic.
It felt like I had control,
it felt like maybe one day someone would notice, and care.
You don't think you're fat...
Fat isn't real.
Healthy or unhealthy is.
And to give into a reality that made you think you needed that control, that power, to make people try and care, try and feel how you do, it doesn't work, all you're doing is pushing them away, when they had already cared in the first place.

I'd like to say it's easy to get over,
but I still struggle with the symptoms,
I still take my weight,
and check the calories,
and stare at myself in the mirror,
but you know what made me start eating?
I gave into those that had loved me to begin with,
opened up,
let everything out,
told them my concerns,
how broken I was,
and they comforted me,
and made me eat,
and made me realise I'm not beautiful as a stick,
I'm not comfortable to hug when there's nothing to hold onto,
I'm not a glow when i'm pale and my veins are showing.

There's more you can do,
you don't have to have "fat",
you can eat healthy,
get regular sleep,
and exercise,
and it will turn into muscle,
and you'll be toned, beautiful, and alive.

Alive and real.

I'm Bee,
and if you need to talk,
I'm here,
and willing to listen/read,
to whatever,
because I care,
and I don't even know you.

i love you. God loves you. Please, please do not give up. Ana tried to kill my sister, and if she can defeat Ana, you can too.

:O WHAT?!?!?! Oh god, please don't do anything rash! I can't bear to know that someone I was aquainted with died again because of an eating disorder! It would affect more people than you would think! I would know. Suicide is actually kind of hard to do.....and it can really tear your family and friends apart when they know they couldn't do anything for you. Please find help! I' not even religious and I'll pray for you because I don't even know you, but I know the kind of person you can be, and I know what a great person my now deceased friend was.....please don't die. <3

This is, I don't even know the word for it. I want to mash fantastic and amazing together. And the word that comes out is what your story is.

wait wait wait is this current?
or is this from the past?

I like this
And I hate it at the same time
I practice bulimia
And I don't want to stop
And I don't want to give up
I hate being fat
And it hurts so much
To stand on the scale
And see the numbers staying the same
SoI don't giveup
But this story is really touching
Keep posting

I love it. True really?
Its so sad that people have to endure internal battles such as these but its a sad fact of reality that they do. This would make a great novel and does a great job of bringing awareness to eating disorders and their symptoms.
Great story... Truly great. Nothing I dislike.

): -tears-

this story is very good. i understand what you are going through. in 2 ways. i am self injuring, so i get how you feel as though you dont have anyone, and i am also slightly anorxic. im not too bad. i still eat every other day or so. but if you ever need help or just some one to talk to you could message me. and maybe we could help each other

This is purely amazing. <3
You inspire me.
