Just needed to share this with people who may understand.....
I was looking through some old papers today and came across an old photography of myself from about three years ago. It was before i developed full blown bulimia. I looked so pretty and happy, i now look like a completely different person. Im now 28 but look so much older because of what i put my body and mind though. And to think i started this because i wanted to improve the way i look. I wish i could have seen how beautiful i was.

Now I'm skinner... and miserable.

I wish I would have seen it back then too. I really took it for granted and I'm sure we all wish we could be like that again...

I know I do "

" Same here. I was such a pretty girl with a normal body. Now it's all gone: gaunt face, thin hair, no body. Only Ed is still there telling me the pictures are gone forever. "
