Letter from Ana

Dear Jo,
Don't you see, sweetie? You're ruining yourself! All of this eating has to stop. It's making you depressed, dysfunctional, and worst of all, fat! You're so much happier when you're restricting; i don't know why you forget that every time you see a cheesecake. Please, please stop this eating madness. I just want you to be thin and happy, but you've got to let me help you.
Do you remember the post you did on the Staircase Diet? Why don't you try that? I know, i know, it seems like a lot of Calories starting out, but honestly, anything will be better than what you've been doing. Just try it, dear. Get through the whole thing, and i promise i'll give you some sort of reward at the end, not to mention you'll actually be thinner!
Now what are you doing in front of the computer at this time of day? You're meant to be on the treadmill. Today's day three of the running program (at least you're sticking with that so far). Go on, go on, get dressed and hop onto the treadmill!
All my love,
Ana

  3. You can do this...Ana's being gentle with you, and you're being gentle with yourself... This is good. The treadmill...god, I should be on it, too. The computer does so much for me, and yet it requires that I sit, stagnant, sedentary, letting the 1,000 calories I've already eaten today seep into my fat even further, making it bigger... If I can ignore my knee pain long enough, perhaps I can go for a run with you. ;)

    Stay lovely, dear. <3

  6. The staircase diet will probably be really good for you. The ABC isnt quite as good for your metabolism.. Well done with the running program so far! :) xx

  8. Why are you personifying ana this way?
    Ana isn't a best friend.
    It's like you want to be crazier; I could swear that this is how an anoretic admitted she felt after months and months of therapy.
    Seek help, please. :C
