&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff409f" face="Franklin Gothic Medium" color=#006600 size=4&gt;This is true.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff409f" face="Franklin Gothic Medium" color=#006600 size=4&gt;Or at least ana tells me so...&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff409f" face="Franklin Gothic Medium" color=#bfffff size=4&gt;I need control. Without it, then my heart will continue to desparatley ache for the torment. Filling my outsides (with food) causes my soul to waste away; thus, to waste the flesh may fill my insides with contenment. It's a compensation. I can't explain it, but i do know that i need this. It's a sese of purpose. Feed me nothing, so i can grow to feel i am something. i don't want to go back to that fat body full of chaos. nothig can take that away from me. There is no reason o fall down by weight whe i can float so high.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff409f" face="Franklin Gothic Medium" color=#bfffff size=4&gt;&lt;A href="http://x28.xanga.com/bffd125a1013474960956/b50599932.jpg" target=xangaphoto&gt;&lt;IMG style="BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; WIDTH: 233px; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px" alt="" src="http://x28.xanga.com/bffd125a1013474960956/z50599932.jpg"&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff409f" face="Franklin Gothic Medium" color=#bfffff size=4&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;(this was taken above when i weighed 15 more pounds ewww)&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;
&lt;P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff409f" face="Franklin Gothic Medium" color=#006600 size=4&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff409f" face="Franklin Gothic Medium" color=#ffcc33 size=4&gt;i'm going to stay like this. i know it'll kill me. not the drugs, not the smoking, not the endless hours of exercise, or the empty stomach. the pain is going to kill me. i can't afford treatment, not now. no insurance, no money, no one knows the truth, and ana likes that you know.&lt;/FONT&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff409f" face="Franklin Gothic Medium" color=#ffcc33 size=4&gt;when it comes down to it, i'd kill to go back into treatment, but for know i'm just killing myself. for just too long, i have been a slave to my demon of self-starvation. i'm just sick of crying and screaming alone because i think i found "new fat" on my bones. it's simply exhausting my soul. as much as i crave and "love" my eating disorder, if i could just get a glimps of whats on the opposite side of faith, i would take it. but, for now, i can't imagine a life without anorexia. nothng else seems to matter. nothing. not my family, close friends, work, school, the world, or even myself. no one knows whats it's really like. they can never comprehend&amp;nbsp;this if i were to be raw. to get down to the nitty-gritty. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana color=#ffcc33&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff409f" face="Franklin Gothic Medium" color=#ffffcc size=4&gt;I may be liking this too much, but it's &lt;EM&gt;never enough&lt;/EM&gt;. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff409f" face="Franklin Gothic Medium" color=#ffffcc size=4&gt;For how am I to breathe as it endlessly consumes the pores &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff409f" face="Franklin Gothic Medium" color=#ffffcc size=4&gt;beyond my soul??? When it all comes down to it, im just alone. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff409f" face="Franklin Gothic Medium" color=#ffffcc size=4&gt;why did so many run when i needed them the most?!? &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff409f" face="Franklin Gothic Medium" color=#ffffcc size=4&gt;because it was better for me and helped? I don't think so.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff409f" face="Franklin Gothic Medium" color=#ffffcc size=4&gt;&amp;nbsp;i only wanted to get better, because everyone said &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff409f" face="Franklin Gothic Medium" color=#ffffcc size=4&gt;i needed to. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff409f" face="Franklin Gothic Medium" color=#ffffcc size=4&gt;but it's hard, and with the thought of looking like that &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff409f"&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ffffcc&gt;&lt;FONT face="Franklin Gothic Medium"&gt;&lt;FONT size=4&gt;&lt;EM&gt;"chubby girl"&lt;/EM&gt; i once was, it dreads my soul.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt; &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;

There's no way an angel would lie to you?!? Angels don not lie...&lt;EM&gt;this one does. &lt;/EM&gt;And she makes you push yourself far too hard and beyond, &lt;EM&gt;but it's never enough&lt;/EM&gt;. It's like walking down an endless swaying line within your head; just as you begin to see a glimpse of the angels devil horns, she blinds you with her bright and beautiful wings. &lt;EM&gt;Nothing is wrong...&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV class=RTE&gt;&lt;FONT face="Franklin Gothic Book"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffdfbf" color=#ff8000&gt;Wether I am eating or not, the thoughts of ANA are still haunting my mind. She continues to follow my every move. I just don't seem to care, because after all of these years (10, going on 11 soon), I haven't found the strength to survive without her. She's become my identity and I greatly fear that anyone will try to take her away from me! She's shaped who I am today. The only pain I find from this "eating disorder", is the pain of abandonement from those whom were far too ignorant to ever understand. It just makes me want ANA with me more. She never once left me, she never goes away. I like it to stay that way; I know i'm 'sick', but I don't seem to really care and I don't quite mind it.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV class=RTE&gt;&lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffbfdf" face="Franklin Gothic Book" color=#ff0080&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;When you feel you have no control&amp;nbsp; in anything, at least you can control what goes into your body. ANA has taken all of the pain and life's chaos to simplify into one simple issue. yet, it's not simple at all. It's really not about the &lt;EM&gt;methodic calorie counting through the distorted mirrors. &lt;/EM&gt;Yet, it's far too complex to begin with; I really don't think I'll ever understand why I was predisposed towards this disease of self-starvation. I starve because I like it, I like how it makes me feel, and&amp;nbsp;I love how it masks the overwelming feelings I fear&amp;nbsp;with a a sense of euphoria. It's almost like you can actually not feel.I don't have to have reasons as to why I NEED MY ANA. I just do...&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV class=RTE&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffbfdf" face="Franklin Gothic Book" color=#ff0080&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;

Seldomly, a thought catches a glimpse of what may be, that maybe i shouldn't be "here" of all places. *ANA* says that the fantasm is obviously a lie of the weakened coward! I listen to her wisdom. I do as I am told... Hunger today and starve tomarrow. This body craves  perfection for the Demon of Self Starvation (for my *ANA*) This "disease" keeps holding me down, over and over again. All the nourishment in the world can never feed the emanciation of the soul. It never really goes away. I surrender  my identity in *ANA's* boney hands. </description><comments>http://torturedbones.xanga.com/450892035/perfection-is-to-be-consumed/#firstcomment</comments></item></channel></rss>
