“Nothing matters when I'm thin."
"An imperfect body reflects an imperfect person..."
These quotes basically say what people who are anorexic feel when they look at their reflection and this exemplify why they continue to starve themselves. When they look in the mirror they don’t see themselves the same way we see them, like in the above illustration. The second quote says that if they don’t meet the requirements to be “perfect”, no one will love them or see them for who they really are because the only thing at which people look, to evaluate if another person is “good enough” for them, is looks.
These people need to realize that they are beautiful in their own way and one doesn’t need to change for any other one person. If anyone demands that another needs to change for him or her, the person either doesn’t love that person or is not worthy of the other person’s love. I’m not trying to saying some changes aren’t for the better, like if it’s losing weight because one is too overweight to maintain their health. Just don’t go overboard and you’ll be fine.
