Techcnically, it is. Once you get used to not eating, or the bulimia, or just eating in general, it becomes a habit. It eats at your mind and morphs your body image.

If you're an anorexic, no matter how much weight you lose, you're just no thin enough. You never will be goodenough. so you think, hmmm...

maybe 5 pounds.

lose that, and look in the mirror.

Maybe ten.

Lose more.

It's a cycle. You just keep getting thinner and thinner until,

Whoops.

You're gone.

If you are bulimic, you eat. and eat. and eat.

Until you feel a sudden guilt for what you have done,

so you drag yourself to the bathroom, lift up the seat, stick your fingers down your throat

over and over and over

Until you spit blood.

It can mess with your stomach lining, but you can't help it. You just have to eat so much. You have to purge it.

It's just so impossible to stop.

But you don't wanna tell anybody because you feel you will look crazy...
