“People with eating disorders tend to be very diametrical thinkers – everything is the end of the world, everything rides on this one thing, and everyone tells you you're very dramatic, very intense, and they see it as an affectation, but it´s actually just how you think. It really seems to you that the sky will fall if you are not personally holding it up. On the one hand, this is sheer arrogance; on the other hand, this is a very real fear. And it isn't that you ignore the potential repercussions of your actions. You don't think there are any. Because you are not even there.”
― Marya Hornbacher, Wasted: A Memoir of Anorexia and Bulimia

“Last year I abstained
this year I devour

without guilt
which is also an art”
― Margaret Atwood, You are Happy
