My body has largely not changed most of my life since I had anorexia.

I just like, what if I just stay the fucking same?

I'll just keep coming in and out of fashion.

It's such a funny trend.

I think as soon as enough people reach super skinny, curves are gonna come back.

Some actress or model or singer will come onto the scene with massive tits and thighs and an ass and everyone will go, this is exciting.

Bored of all you bitches who look the same.

And everyone will be running back to the BBLs that they just had removed and getting all the tits that they had removed put back in.

It's just a cycle of hell.

And so I think...

I was subscribing to that cycle because I didn't want to get left behind.

And recovering was realizing that, oh, you never do get left behind.

And actually, this is nonsense.

This is just for someone else's profit.

And I think for some people, eating disorders can be about control.

I'm sure there was an element of that.

As a young woman in this world, it's very hard to feel in control of anything.

It's very hard to grasp your autonomy.

But it was obedience.

And when I look around now at how super skinny everyone's getting, women of all ages, and the tweaking and the facelifts and everything, I don't judge them.
