11 Myths About Eating Disorders, Debunked By Someone Who Lived It, by Brittany Burgunder
Review of the article from a beautiful woman I know in recovery:
This is a must read for people who don't understand eating disorders. Actually, it is a must read for everyone, because there are a lot of people who think they understand when they don't. You don't just "get over" eating disorders. They require intensive treatment and a lifetime of diligence to overcome.

"When I first developed anorexia, I didn’t appear to be sick, but my mind sure was.
While in residential treatment, I was quick to compare myself to those thinner than me, and then I concluded I was not sick because I wasn’t as bad off as them.
This train of thought led me into a death spiral.
Just five years later, I was lying in the ICU close to death, but I still believed I was “fat” and nowhere near sick enough to have anorexia.
Fast forward only a year and a half later, and I was obese.
It actually is somewhat common for people who first struggle with anorexia to flip into binge-eating disorder or bulimia."
