A Dream is a Wish

One of the greatest Disney songs ever written has a line that I wonder if it has any truth. "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes"
Last night I had a dream.
I was being chased.
Now, this was not the typical being-chased-by-a-giant-hairy-beast dream.
It was Ana incarnate. She was gorgeous. Like Leslie Bibb meets Barbie
Leslie Bibb
Barbie
And she was chasing me. Running after me. yelling things like "You are fat. You are ugly. You need me."
   Is this the deepest, darkest wish my heart desires? Will Ana chase me forever?
    At the end of my dream she caught me and I awoke.
    I am forever hers; Eternally Ana.

"A dream is a wish your heart makes, when you're fast asleep. In dreams you will lose your heartache, whatever you wish for, you'll keep. Whatever you wish for, you'll keep. Have faith in your dreams and someday, your rainbow will come smiling through. No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing, the dream that you wish will come true."

Where is the warning label?

My hair is falling out.
Not in the normal, daily hair loss the average person has.
I am talking chunks.
I ate today, as my mother watched me.
Unbearable stomach cramps followed.
Why?
I did not eat, greasy, disgusting fast food or junk.
I had grilled chicken and veggies.
I feel like I ate a box of laxatives.
Why?
Unforeseen side effects of not eating?
         Or coincidence?
I Wish Ana came with a paper insert listing potential side effects.
Or a fast-talking voice quickly telling me of the dangers.
Organ failure I can accept.
But Hair loss?

All Alone

I need a solid support system. But I cannot tell anyone exactly what is going on.
I am irritable.
I am on edge.
I am alienating my friends.
 Twice this week I was told "My God! You've lost a lot of weight"
I do not believe them. "You look great!".  I am fat. Everyone seems to be noticing a difference.
Everyone except Me
and Ana.
  I feel so isolated.
           so alone.
I need someone who understands. Someone like me.
 The secrecy is getting to much.
I just want to be thinner tomorrow than i am today.
                           Happier tomorrow.

Ana > Mia

Purging is by far the absolute worst thing. When you are successful, you are sitting there, on your knees (I like to purge in the shower, the warm water is nice), hand down your throat, un-eating whatever it is you last shoved down your disgusting mouth. Then, there are days like today. Binge days. Days where you eat ChickenQuesadillaGrapesOrangeJuicePizzaPopcornChocolatePeanutButterIceCreamCookies. But no matter how hard you try, no matter how many fingers I shove down there, Nothing comes up. NOTHING. I'm burping and gaging, but everything remains, slowly digesting, destroying me from the inside out.
This.
     Is.
       Bad.
Fast, Fast, Water, Gym, & more Fasting.
Considering i've consumed enough calories to keep my body running for a year, I must not eat.
  Not eating is becoming a growing concern, you see suspicions are on the rise.
       Mum knows, but is in denial I think. Her comments like "My God, your collarbones are sticking out way more than they used to! You aren't going anorexic on me are you?" and her refusal to buy me salad. (Literally, she went to a fast food place, I asked for a garden salad, she comes home with a large fry and a fried chicken sandwich). It's like, subconsciously she knows, but she is too afraid to acknowledge it.
      The love of my life. God bless him really, he is concerned. He has been taking notice to my apple-a-day weekends and my salad only meals. "But you are not fat! I do not understand, you are beautiful just the way you are! You don't need to diet like this." I wish I could see in me what he sees. I won't even let him touch me anymore, I can't. We've been together for four years, and I can't let him touch me. His love is unconditional, and at this point, is one of the few things I am absolutely blessed to have.
      Then there is my best-friend. He is the only person who knows. I told him everything. He understands, but is concerned. "Just stop, Bea, Please. It's not good for you." I wish I could, I say. But trying to explain Ana and Mia to someone who doesn't know them is impossible. It's so much more than a bad habit. It's not like i'm forgetting to turn the lights of when I leave. It's hard. And the sick thing is,
I don't want to get better.  
I mean, I'm not even skinny yet, right?
  And that is essentially my life.
Sorry about the rant... I kinda trailed off there...
Anyways, Today I binged, but Mia deserted me. I could not purge. Ana is my one true love. I'm bloated and disgusting and it's time to attempt to sleep it off. Ana, tomorrow, I am running back into your wide open arms.

Hello, World.

Hello, world.
      Nice to meet you. I'm here to tell the tale of me and my best frenemy,
                                        Ana.
Ana and I have been friends for a long time, and this is our story. Maybe no one will ever read this blog. But, it doesn't matter because I feel as though this blog is for me. I need the universe to hear my story. I need it to be out there, even if it's just floating around, unseen, for all of eternity. So this is me. Take me as I am. Hate me, love me, support me, reject me. I just want everyone to know that this is NOT a pro-ana/pro-mia blog. I am not advocating (nor condemning, mind you) any of the behaviours I partake in. I simply have a desire need to get my story out; to get it off my chest.
         Stay strong, starve on
