I always thought ahh nothing bad physically will happen to me as a result of restricting my food / fluids but 10 years down the line I have an irregular heart beat, messed up blood sugar levels and need regular checks on my potassium levels with iv drips every now and then and anaemia. You got to think of all the bad things that will happen as a result of not eating. When you were at a lower weight did you really truly see yourself as beautiful or was there still a voice in your head telling you that if you lost a few more pounds then you would be beautiful enough. The horrible fact of anorexia is that you will never be thin enough to make you feel beautiful .
