Believe it or not, anorexia isn’t really about food and weight—at least not at its core. Eating disorders are much more complicated than that. The food and weight-related issues are symptoms of something deeper: things like depression, loneliness, insecurity, pressure to be perfect, or feeling out of control. Things that no amount of dieting or weight loss can cure.
I do not have anorexia... but I've struggled with these things. And think of poeple like me, or poeple who do have anorexia. Theres always something deeper. For me, it was rejection, stress, rebellion, more stress, a rough time with friends and my parents, and a time of wondering who i was.

Yet still most people are judgemental enough to think that an ED is pure vanity.
