anorexia has killed her because she didnt care. she only wanted to be skinnier.
When you notice you dont have a gap between your thighs,
and a layer of fat covers your cheek bones.
Thats when she creeps into your life.

When people stop giving you compliments about your "skinny as a stick" figure,
and you cant stand looking at yourself in the mirror anymore.
Thats the perfect time for her to take over.

Suddenly you start looking at the nutrition labels on anything you even think about eating,
and you cut back from 1200 calories a day to 900 calories.
Then
800,
700,
600,
500.

Until you can finally feel your hip bones when you wear a swim suit.
People comment on how much weight you've lost,
and that encourages you to lose more.

You start exercising everyday for hours at a time.
then you take a short break,
and exercise again.

soon you have lost 40 out of the 120 you weighed before.
your eyes get creamy,
and your nails grow yellow and brown.
Before you know it, she killed you.
Ana has done her job.
The hunger game is over,
and Ana has won.
