5 Reasons to Date a Girl With an Eating Disorder
1- Her obsession over her body will improve her overall looks! Her hands are soft with lotion to smooth the teeth marks on her knuckles. Her nails are always well manicured so they don't scratch her throat.
2 - She costs less money! When you take her out to dinner with your friends, you will have to buy her nothing more than a salad. As she slices her lettuce leaves into thirds, your friends will stare, trying not to ask you what is wrong with her.
3 - She's fragile and vulnerable. Her skin will bruise when you hug her too tightly, her shoulder bones digging into your arms. You will have to hide all of the knives and box cutters in your apartment, will find yourself wondering if she can hurt herself with a fork.

For Telling The Truth Even When It Hurts Me
Last Sunday during the weekly phone call from my mother, her greeting doesn't ask me how I've been or even what state I'm currently in. Instead she asks, so how much weight have you lost?
As if I wasn't insecure enough about where I stand in her affections, being the seventh of her ten children, now I know my only value to her will be in the number of compliments she will get about me from her church friends.
I didn't eat anything for the rest of the day as her shame worked its way through my digestive system. The shame tastes like binging on Fritos and cheese dip until I have vomit so I associate the two tastes and never want to taste them again.
The shame tastes like 2: 00 a.m. hugging the toilet to rid my body of the peppermint I ate because it's sugar content was too high. It tastes like failure.
