It, often unintentionally, creates a benchmark that says "you need to be *this sick* to be deemed suffering". <br /><br />I don't have any full-body before/after shots. I have to pictures from my treatment. I have a few pics of my face from my sister's party.<br /><br />Sure, these pictures shock those outside the ED. But, is that visual shock really what's going to help people dealing with an ED. I suffered from Bulimia so I didn't *look* like what society pictures. I looked like shit still and I looked ill but not traditionally eating disordered. <br /><br />I am not ashamed to say I've had an ED but I don't want images of me at my most unwell to be what people associate with my name. I don't want someone to say 'Oh, Keira's getting married" and the response be "Keira, was that the one with the sunken face and had that weird yellow tinge to her eyes"<br /><br />...and, as always I'm ranting on your blog ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
