This is Haylee. I met her online recently and was given permission to share her story. Shes 16 years old and has been suffering with Anorexia Nervosa (binge purge subtype) for 10 years now. She has permanent heart problems, shes has 2 heart attacks since January, and was in a coma in March. Shes constantly in the hospital due to her eating disorder, and shes spent 7 months in the hospital this year. It’s come to my attention that there are a lot of people on tumblr with “pro-anorexic” blogs who seem to WANT this disease and give “tips” to their followers to “become anorexic”. I want you to look at this photo, at this young girl who has wasted 10 years of her life in agony and ask yourself, how can you be pro this? How can you encourage others to do this to themselves? Please reblog this and help it get around to other blogs to show the reality of eating disorders and the pain they cause and put a stop to “pro anorexia” blogs.

I know it’s nothing related to this blog but please, read this.

As someone who (thankfully) recovered from an eating disorder, I cannot fathom how anyone would want to encourage another person to go through the daily hell of having an eating disorder and the myriad of issues that come with.  I truly hope Haylee finds some relief in recovery, and I hope people think twice before jumping on the pro-anorexia bandwagon.
