So, I do know that each and every one of us has goals, ambitions, dreams, reasons to fight… even though we might not recognize it at times (most times when thi...

So, after many years of living with anorexia, I lost count of the times people asked me “how is it like living with anorexia?”, “why do you want to diet so bad?”, “do you need money to eat?”, “don’t you see your body?”, “you look better, healthy, you’re cured, right?”…...
