I kinda watched this series backwards, but I have a friend who is anorexic and an amazing person who I know will get better soon. I always tell her she should write a book about it. Not enough people speak their stories so I'm glad you're doing it. I think this is an absolutely wonderful thing to record and you speak the truth.

"You don't have to be thin to be anorexic - it's a mindset."

That is the scary truth.

it sure is. *hugs* good luck with your friend.

I haven't watched all of your videos yet, but I will be over time. I've been in treatment for my anorexia for years, and I've had a hard time finding the will and drive to recover. I just wanted you to know that your efforts have given me a sliver of hope that there's a way to get passed this... Thank you so very much. I hope there will be a time I can do what you're doing.

P.S. Your cat is really cute.

im sure there WILL be a time, Marie....where you can do what I'm doing. its not about will...its about admitting you have a problem and turning your will over to your higher power. once you can give your anorexia every day to whatever you believe in....it WILL get better.

ive been anorexic for 2 1/2 yrs bt i didn't realise i got to be physically anorexic (5"1 and 82lbs) cuz i never actaully went to the hospital i was just threatened with it many times. i got better for about a year bt now im having a relapse. thanks for this video. people dont seem to realise that you dont have to be thin to be anorexic.

Thankyou for posting this! I know its a few years later, but there is still major lack of statistics sadly. Best wishes.

nobody has ever told me I was anorexic but the more I watch these videos it comes to be that I have been suffering for years without being diagnosed. People just think im thin because im small (4'8") but really I think its deeper than that. Theres alot of girls my height & more who weight more than I.
