I wish I didn't feel so tired. Maybe I've gotten too lazy.

I don't understand how real anorexics are able to have such busy and productive lives. I consume several times more calories than a normal person should and I don't have the energy to do anything.

Meanwhile it feels like the whole world is screaming at me that I must learn how to eat less in order to have a successful life. That I must stop wanting food so much. If only I would stop wanting food so much, I would be much happier and smarter. If only I would stop wanting food so much, people would treat me like a human being who is good enough to participate in life.

I want to have a happy successful life. If only I could get control my selfish, greedy body and stop wanting food all the time.

Us anorexics are exhausted all the time too.. I can only speak for myself, but I'll get bursts of energy throughout the day, but then I'll get really tired and I can hardly move.

What kind of foods do you eat? Try finding some healthy foods that you enjoy eating such as cucumbers, nuts, apples, carrots... there are plenty of yummy things to try! When you eat processed and junk food, it fills you up for a short amount of time, but then you're hungry for more. Also, cut back some on the soda, coffee, and tea and replace it with water. Green tea I hear is also really good for you and is very satisfying.

Don't feel like you need to be a toothpick in order to be successful in life... its not all its cracked up to be. There is nothing wrong with wanting to eat healthier, but make sure you don't starve yourself! PM me if you need anyone to talk to!

Complex carbs like bread, pasta and rice are slow-release energy foods, so instead of getting a crazy hit of energy like you get from sugary foods, you have sustained energy.
Don't let anorexia fool you into thinking you don't need food to survive.
