My friend suffers from anorexia. But it isn't the same case as your sister. I wish it was....I wish that she didn't have a choice....Well, she did at first, and now she doesn't. The illness has progressed too far for her to stop.

It hurts me so much when she tells me that she hasn't eaten in a week. It hurts so bad, and I tell her to eat, but she won't. Lately she says she's been eating, but at this point I don't know whether to believe her or not.

She thinks she's fat. That's why it all started. She starves herself. I'm afraid for her, because starving yourself can make your body have soooo many problems. She's 100 pounds! That's 20 pounds less than I am, and she's always telling me how skinny I am. It's contradicting her words, how I'm 20 pounds more than her, and yet I am "so much skinnier" than her.

I really wish there wasn't such a disease. I hate how it affects people. It's a terrible thing, and it's wrong for people to say bad things about it, because it's as serious and life-threatening as some other illnesses...

I'm sorry about how it took over your sister. Anorexia is a terrible thing to carry....
