Eating Disorders Are Rarely Ever Portrayed Accurately On Tv. They Aren’t Just Skipping Lunch One Day

Eating disorders are rarely ever portrayed accurately on tv. They aren’t just skipping lunch one day or thinking a certain outfit makes you look fat. It starts out simple and innocent, until one day it’s not. It goes from throwing up because you ate so much food you got sick, to becoming addicted to the way your stomach feels emptier after getting rid of the food in it. It goes from restricting a normal amount of food, to crying because you ate twice in one day. Eating disorders are not pretty. It’s grades slipping because you don’t have the energy to study and you can’t concentrate in class because the only thing you’re thinking about is how you can get through dinner tonight without eating. It’s ruining friendships because you cancel every plan you make, terrified it’ll involve eating. It’s not having any consistency in your life. Some days you’ll eat and not feel guilty. Other days you’ll want to tear your skin apart after one bite. It’s knowing you need help but not having the first clue how to ask for it. Because how do you ask for help if you aren’t even sure you want it.

Thirty-seven years ago tonight, approximately 6+ hours from now, we as a generation, we as the world, we as human beings lost a visionary, an activist, a musician, a philosopher, a mentor, a legend, a genius. I was 8 years old the first time I saw and heard John and the Beatles on TV in 1964 and it truly was the moment that my life changed forever. I know that at a young age like that, the change was limited, but it was profound and forever and continues to this day when I’m 62. “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.”
