Anorexia is an awful thing, but you get yourself into it, and only you can get yourself out of it.

A misperception about anorexia is that you don't eat. Not true. Maybe you eat just 500 calories a day. It would be easy for me to say, 'Why didn't my parents notice?' But I didn't want them to. I made sure to eat half a sandwich around my parents.

Anorexia taught me to love life and to realise that starving yourself to death is a bloody waste of time. It's awful, and it hurts so many people around you. It's a terribly selfish thing to do.

I try not to diet because it never really works for me, if I tell myself I can't eat something then I tend to want to eat everything in sight.

If I like myself at this weight, then this is what I'm going to be. I don't have an eating disorder.

It's difficult, and it's an incredibly fine balance between getting your weight right down and being anorexic.

I was struggling with anorexia, and one of the biggest problems with an eating disorder is you don't realize you have it. And you can't heal until you realize there's a problem.

I dare anybody to look at me and say I'm anorexic. I'm so totally not.

I'm terrible at sticking to any sort of diet. The more I think I can't eat something, the more I want to eat it. And I know this is the most annoying thing for a girl to say, but I'm just really lucky; I can eat pretty much what I want.

Many people submit to excessive appetites without realizing that they do not need to eat so much food.
