When I wasn't suffering with an eating disorder, I saw this. I was thinking how unrealistic. How is it possible? That it was somewhat stupid. 'It's just a peice of cake!' I was thinking. Now, I've came across it again. My feelings have changed so much... Now that I have anorexia. I guess you can't judge what you don't know...

@BubbleGumBubbleGirl Thank you so much for your comment. I really hope you can overcome this. I did a lot of research on Anorexia and beauty in general before coming up with this video. Eating disorders can have a powerfull grip on people and with this video I was hoping to open the eyes of people with eating disorders. To realise that 'voice' in their head isn't them.... it's the illness...

wat's the second girl doing??? i don't get it?

@narutoxinwen2005 "Ana" (the illness) is controling her as a puppet. I portrayed the illness as a person, it's the same actress as well.
