And this
You revert back to having the body of a child
This is what an eating disorder does to your face
It withers it
And ages it
So much that you hardly recognize yourself
This is what an eating disorder does to your tooth
Discolours them
Rots them
Breaks them
And these are the good teeth
This is what an eating disorder does to your food habits
It convinces you that food is the enemy
This is what an eating disorder does to your confidence
Shatters it to bits and pieces
This is how an eating disorder makes you feel
Stuck in a vicious circle
This is what you feel like doing when you you have an eating disorder
This is what an eating disorder does to you mind
It makes you feel like you are losing it
This is how an eating disorder makes you feel
Like you are invisible
This is what an eating disorder does to your heart
Breaks it in to a million little pieces
This is what an eating disorder does to your spirit
It crushes it
This what it feels like to fight back
Terrifying
Scary
Lonely
This is what it feels like to regain weight
Frustrating beyond belief
But this is what it feels like when things start to turn around
Like a light shining in the darkness
This is what it feels like when you feel like you might have a fighting chance
Like a sigh of relief
This is how it feels to feel again
Totally overwhelming
This is what it feels like to feel to want to live
You don't feel the pull of death any more
This what it feels like to be around friends again
Like you belong
Like you matter to someone
This is what it's like to love again
Like you are alive at last
