They can look like fearing carbs and fats and they can look like carefully planned ‘junk food’.
They can look like drinking litres of water and they can look like a fear of liquids.
They can look like constant adrenaline-fueled activity and they can look like being unable to move.
They can look like strict regimes and they can look like a jumbled mess.
They can look like constant checking in mirrors and they can look like a fear of your reflection.
They can look like loved ones begging you to change and they can look like nobody knowing there’s a problem.
They can look like drips and tubes and they can look like being physically healthy.
They can look like relapses and recovery attempts and they can look like never changing.
They can look like countless behaviours always changing and they can look like the same thing every day.
They can look like isolating yourself from the world and they can look like an active social life.
They can look like years of treatment and they can look like never getting help.
They can look like understanding that there is a problem and they can look like complete denial.
There is no one image of someone with an eating disorder, as there is no one image of someone with a broken leg, someone with cancer, someone with a virus.
