LaTigresse -> RE: Could anorexia be a rational life choice? (9/4/2007 10:47:08 AM)

Thank you leatherette.
After someone special to you dies from something we all see as, somewhat preventable, you have so many mixed feelings. Anger, frustration, guilt, just so many things. Constantly, at least for me, "What could I have done different? How could I have helped her?"
The reality is that the seed was sown long before I knew her. It was her choice to nurture it or take a different life path. I don't blame her, I don't think she was strong enough to overcome her many obstacles. Though she would surely argue that with me. She was very intelligent and to the world, very self assured and confident. Not many were aware of her secret demons and some that knew her, even fueled them. I have accepted that I could not change everything for her and just try to remember all the wonderful stuff.
All I can say is that for anyone to encourage anorexia, for any reason, is just pure insanity. To even consider it, only tells me that they are clueless to the many facets of the health issues. As said already, it's not about being cute and skinny at all.
