I've been diagnosed with an eating disorder (anorexia). People like me generally don't do it because we just want to be thin, we do it because we need to find some sort of grasp or control over something, so we chose food. Lots of people say that we're stupid because we do it just because we want to be thin, I'd never do this in a million years if i just wanted to be thin, it's a cry for help... And it's most certainly not something that can go away overnight, on average it takes someone 6-7 years, to fully recover from an eating disorder. It's roughly estimated that 10-25% of people that suffer with an eating disorder will die from the disease due to medical complications
