i know how that feels... its great cant wait for the next update

Thank you for sharing. The only one that can help is the Lord. He can take your heart and find the lost you and give you the strength to get through this. Being bulimic and having to fight the temptations that people with eating disorders face for the rest of their lives is an uphill battle. The lord can help you I promise.

You said pro-ana/mia, and this is somewhat true, but not completely. You see, you've created a fantastic story in verse, a thinspiration to those with EDs, and a cautionary tale that rings very, very true.

My favorite two parts were the description of Kaitlyn

"pretty pink curls,

violet eyes rimmed in black,

hip bones and collar bones

as sharp as her wit."

and the last chapter, the way it's formatted. Beautiful.

I hope that you'll take this off hiatus and continue it if you don't really have an ED, but if you do, I hope you've stopped writing it because you're recovering.

Anyway, fabulous job, wonderful story. I love it. (:

oh my god, i love this story so much. especially the formatting in this chapter, the double entendre kind of thing you have going on.

But this sounds so much like me, especially the whole exam thing...it's like nothing works. If you eat, you feel so damn guilty, and then you can't get it back up! And if you don't eat, well we know that it's not a pretty sight when you go in to give an exam with an empty head because you couldn't remember a damn thing while studying.

Ah. You definitely have a way with words. There are SO many stories on the subject out there, but I've never seen anyone capture the emotions behind it quite like this. It's amazing, this story. I really hope you continue it soon soon soon!

i love the set up of this chapter

stress during exams is also bad with cutters. in my freshmen year in highschool, eams were impossible because when i got stressed, i cut. when i cut, i got stress and i chouldn't study. it was a never ending cycle of stress.

this poem is my favorite so far. i kinda understand how it feels. i have a slight eating disorder (i like to eat wierd things like candles and paper) and i have gone through spells of fasting, and that was how it felt.

:( Sad. Update soon please.

I know exactly where you're coming from. Except, I've never seen anyone capture it so perfectly.

The pride, the self-hatred, the hip-bones, the BMI fixation, I've been there. Now that school's over and nobody's watching me eat, I've been slipping back into it, and have never felt more beautiful then when I'm starving to the point of dizziness and can see my ribs, hip-bones, and bony, scarred wrists. I've never felt more powerful and in control than when I passed out from hunger and got a scar on my chin that will never go away.

But the thing is, I can't write about it like you can, even in my own journal. I write about the outside, fluffy stuff that goes on, and only occasionally allude to the crazy shit inside my head. You have a gift. Please keep writing, there are so many of us who need you.

LOVE the format in this chapter. The double meaning gives it so much feeling, and I especially liked the ending.

Love the formatting. Great addition. Keep up the good work!

Have a marvelous day.

Ah, exam stress. I really don't get stressed out about tests, but tons of people have test anxiety. They can relate to this. Nice work.

I would hate to be this girl. Nice work.

Good job on telling a story.
