January 2019:
I lost weight when I went on my medication initially because it made me very sick and when I told people that was why, more than a couple would say stuff like βI wish I could get some of thatβ like you want a weird disorder that is awful and to be violently ill? just to be skinnier?
βAfter I got the biopsies, they did another mammogram. And I had to have my shirt off. And I was standing there at the machine. And the technician said, oh my gosh, you have such a flat stomach. What is your secret? And I was like, oh, Iβm dying.β

More proof that the ideal of thinness never had anything to do with health.
