hopeful

my family: no wtf

my ed:

Let me say it for you again for you.

You can be thin.

Don’t just read. Think.

You CAN be thin.

Anna McAnna is a dancer. She’s thin, has friends and love interests. 

Dad: LOL DON’T EAT THAT IT HAS CALORIES!!! U HAVE A DANCE SHOW TOMORROW HAHA JK I LOVE U BBY

Anna goes on pro anna websites and makes dangerous internet friends. “I will only lose 5 pounds” says anna. She makes a thinspo collage on her wall/diary to keep motivated

Anna is losing weight. Her mom is concerned

Mom: um sweetie you are losing weight??? That’s not good you are beautiful. I love u bae

Anna is angry her mom doesn’t understand. She’s an anorexic tm now. No one can stop her. She goes batshit crazy screaming at everyone that offers her food

Anna’s mom finds out about her online activities. She’s worried and forces Anna to eat a meal. Anna does it bitterly and then purges perfectly no getting trained period in which your first 90 attempts you just spit some water

Anna is now purging. All her friends got tired of her bullshit and left her. Her love interest is like “lmao dude u 2 skinny u ok?????? im worried”

Anna faints and goes to the hospital

Docotr: so um ur daughter is anorexic she may die???????? It’s bad????

Anna: wow taht was v dangerois I guess I’m cured now

I trully despise how the movie put everything in such a romantic light; it disgusted me to the core. Right from the beggining they brought up the “calorie counting from memory” scene without making any remarks on how fucked up it trully is (come on, the friend just accepted it, shook her head and continued talking to her normally). There are multiple scenes throughout the film that could‘ve been written better, to make shure the viewers see how EDs make a trully awful NEGATIVE IMPACT on the sufferer’s mind and body, the effects being permanent most times.

It’s incredible I have to say it, but serious topics should be represented also in a serious way. Eating Disorders are deadly. You do not “share quick little tips with all you ana and mia frens” and laugh about you helping eachother die, “cuz we are besties, and besties help and support each other 👼🏻✨✨”. Anorexia and a lot of ED’s come with self loathing, reclusion, a serious lying habit, not trusting anyone (sometimes not even yourself when you count calories, or following the rules you set), eating rituals, not wanting to see yourself on the mirror or get pictures taken, pushing loved ones aside, crying all of the time with pure hatred, becoming obsessive in multiple ways, sometimes anemia, weakness, yellow skin, bloating, hair all over your body, not having your period and being proud of it, being cold even in the summer, risk of heart, bones, fertility problems and even brain damage.
