When your boyfriend knows about your ed and doesn’t try to stop you…

It’s like he finally admitted that they would like you better if you were skinny, even though the words will never pass his lips. At first it hurts, but then it motivates you. Now you want to do this for him as much as you want it for yourself.

And he will never say you look fat. But he’ll help you restrict. He’ll tell you when he sees progress. He’ll bring you unsweetened green tea. He’ll only let you have a couple bites of his dessert when you refuse your own. He’ll congratulate you when you reach your goal weights. And he will help keep you safe.

He is the perfect ana-buddy.
