I know how you feel. I wish that I didn't. Thank you.

Wow..this was a really intense piece. And I can completely relate. No matter what you do, its never enough, and it really is like you're running from yourself. I set goals for myself and think that when I'm thinner something will change, *something* will be better. And as soon as I lose the weight, nothing has changed and I don't feel different. I can still find fat. In a way, its like I'm afraid to face my life; if I just keep the focus on my weight and being thin, I don't have to look up and see where I'm going.

I added this to my favorites.

You're amazing.Wow.yay.

Sort of sounds just like me, except i'm sort of in recovery.5'4130 pounds,then got abit smaller.

Anyhow, you're a great writer, and you definitely seem to know what you're writing about.Take care.

Absolutely AMAZING! I have Ana/Mia and this peice was so incredibly true... so beautiful, keep writing!!

I really like it; my cousin has an eating disorder. She's slowly getting back on track.

One word: intense. Sounds like my writing. I did notice spelling errors and such, but other than that it was absolute perfection.

This is good and very real. You're really talented!

Wow, powerful. I almost cried, but has a victim of Ana, you know emotions eventually disappear. Hope you caught my drift. Thank you for writing that, it's insightful for those you just dont know...

Wow! I can't tell you how good this is - you really pinched your way into how an ana or mia thinks. And it's not pretty.

Wow. I'm speechless. Breathless. My heart is breaking at the reality of it all. I am sad to admit that am also ana and occasionally I slip back into mia. I've spent so much time looking at pro-ana websites that my parents found out and blocked them. I know how it feels to hate yourself so much. How it feels to be never enough...er, I mean, TOO MUCH! ( heh heh. Bad joke.) I'm torn between getting better and getting thinner. I know how romantic emaciation can be. How gorgeous a "new found rib" can seem. How the numbers on the scale determine weather today will be a good day or not. I still feel the same way. I still wish I could be close to ana, want to feel like she's my best friend again, want to be bones. Instead, I feel like everytime I eat I'm letting her down. Slipping away from her. Losing my best friend, my only friend at times. But I look at my family. I see how much I hurt them when I try to make ana happy. So I eat. I grit my teeth. I cry about it . THEN I EAT. I do it for them. I hope that one day I'll be happy just being me. Maybe I will. Maybe someday we all will. I think it's wonderful that you put time into getting this story out in the open. Anas and Mias need DESPERATELY to be heard...and you've made them heard. Thank you. You don't know how much this means.

Wow. That was really good. I really really liked it a lot, as in, it was a really good look at eating disorders and how even though they aren't fat, they think they are, and that was just amazing. I love it lots!

What to I think? I think this is one heck of a powerful narrative.
