A small chat makes a big difference

Before school started my best friend and I were talking about a few things, mainly about my eating disorder. She was telling me how upset my friends are when they see me eating so little. She also told her mom about my issues, which is okay because I’m really close to her family, and they didn’t mention anything to her moms boyfriend until they saw me yesterday. He apparently asked what was wrong with me, because apparently he could break me in half ‘cause I was such a twig'. Then I asked her, “Is it really that visible?” and she told me yes, it is. For a while when people would see me they would think, "Oh she exercises and is really muscular", but now it’s like, "Oh what’s wrong with her, she’s all bones." It scares me and makes me realize how bad this is, how thin and unhealthy I look. It makes me come back to reality and realize I need to step my game up and eat more. I can’t just continue eating fruit and vegetables, because that's only causing more weight loss, I have to add more grains and protein into my diet (maybe some unhealthy food here and there for cheat days). But I’m glad to know that my friends are really concerned about me and are supporting me on the run to recovery. I don’t want to get better just for myself, but for my friends and family..
