So first of all to give you some information about anorexia nervosa:

"Anorexia nervosa, often referred to simply as anorexia, is an eating disorder characterized by a low weight, fear of gaining weight, a strong desire to be thin, and food restriction. Many people with anorexia see themselves as overweight even though they are in fact underweight. If asked they usually deny they have a problem with low weight. Often they weigh themselves frequently, eat only small amounts, and only eat certain foods. Some will exercise excessively, force themselves to vomit, or use laxatives to produce weight loss."
-https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anorexia_nervosa

Anorexia exists and about 0.9% of American women suffer from anorexia in their lifetime. Also 1 in 5 anorexia deaths is by suicide.

Trigger Warning

If you by any cause have any kind of eating disorder, self-harm or even just think about it. Please click off of this book.

Even I get triggered by my own book. I do not suffer from any kind of ED but I am very insecure about my body and my weight.

Take care of yourself! Life is beautiful and you are, too.
