When I saw a way too small number on the scale and yet couldn't see how I was too thin, and couldn't bring myself to eat.

For a few years ago, when I stopped eating al together. I realized, though, that I had been anorexic since I was 13 years old, when I first started restricting like crazy :3

When we had summer break from school and the first thing that made me excited was the fact that I didnt have to hide the lunch I wasnt eating at school anymore because summer has no eating schedules.

The first moment i realized i was anorexic was when we had a talk about eating disorders in health class and all my friends looked back at me. it hurt, but i knew they were right

There was a period during my winter break where I didn't eat for two weeks. I went on runs every morning and passed out almost every time afterward. On the final day of that two week period, I ate a bit. It was just a few bites of an apple but at least it was something. I stepped onto a scale before I went to sleep, and I only weighed about [edited by Anomalia to remove specific weight]. That was when I realized that I might have a problem.
