anorexia ner*vo*sa

(noun)

: a serious eating disorder primarily of young women in their teens and early twenties that is characterized esp. by a pathological fear of weight gain leading to faulty eating patterns, malnutrition, and usu. excessive weight loss

************

they always told me at school that i was far too thin
but for some strange reason i never really fully
believed the things that they said to me on
the subject; perhaps it is because when
i look into the mirror i see this girl
who still seems to be a little
lumpy around the hips;
but then maybe it's
these funhouse
mirror icons
inside
me

far out. I've read the first three doors now. Not only are these visually exquisite, they are the best damn explanations any psych student could hope for. These should be published - now. Fox

anorexia is something very dear to me... and i hate it. but it's so easy to stop eating, and it's hard to force yourself to begin again. and it's true- you're just never thin enough... until you're dead. it isn't a logical illness.

I agree...that's the hardest part..making yourself eat again. This was a great poem. ~Delilah~
