The distraction

 Something that people don't realise about anorexia is that

It is so far away from being about food

food is a distraction, a ditherance, an entirely logical and understandable struggle

for someone on the outside


But we know deep within that

the food is merely the band aid

that behind every skipped meal and snack is

a tsunami of insecurities.


People look at a thin girl not eating and wish she'd stop reading magazines

they'd say 'why does she want to look like Kim Kardashian'?

She's only skin deep.


The irony in what you're saying is stark,

the food is only skin deep

It's a defense, a weapon

to hide what is underneath.
