I've been an off and on recovering and relapsing anorexic teen for over a year now... on August 19th, I was 196 lbs. Now, Sept. 7th, I'm 184 lbs. Twelve pounds in like eighteen days, because I eat a whole lot less, and whenever I do eat, it's healthier, and try to maintain exercise. I'm so obsessed with my weight that I want to lose 24 lbs in the next month so I'm at least 160 lbs by my sixteenth birthday. I'm 5'6" by the way.
but yeah.. I really felt for this poem. It kinda mirrored what I feel and tell myself and listen to in my head all day every day. I'm hooked on Ana's words and I can't escape, but I don't want to because holy fuck it feels so good to not eat and to lose weight and burn off some fat. I'm sorry if you've ever dealt or are dealing with anorexia.. please stay strong and get through this.
update: I just realized you said you wanted constructive criticism and not about the content, but this was posted in early June and i think you are my current favourite yws poetry writer honestly, sorry to bother you with a bunch of comments and all, thank you so much for posting
