Before my gastric bypass surgery and massive weight-loss, I could not understand the issues of anorexia/bullemia - and did not understand why these people could not see how thin they are.

Now I understand.

Everytime I put on a new piece of clothing, I think “oh its gonna be too small, that will never fit”. And sometimes they are even too big.

I pass a large window or mirror and I have to look twice - “Am I really that small? Is that me?”.

It has even gotten to the point that when I shop for jewlery, I am still stuck in that mindset of “oh, I must get a longer necklace, bigger ring, larger bracelet, cause surely those normal ones won’t fit”.

We all struggle with issues, and for some our issues are harder to deal with.

I hope that anyone who is dealing with Anorexia or Bullemia and happens to see this gets the help they need.

Life is for living, and these two disorders are just a way of slowly dying.
