Top 10 Benefits of Being Anorexic

TOP 10 BENEFITS OF BEING ANOREXIC

• My crazy obsession with food has made me a pretty good cook.
• I always have gum.
• My cold hands are perfect to lay across Boyfriend's forehead when he has a fever.
• If I was held prisoner and denied food until I gave up whatever secrets my captor wanted out of me, I would outlast everyone.
• I can spend my last couple of dollars on art supplies instead of food when I'm broke.
• No one needs to look up how many calories are in any food with me around. I have them all memorized. 
• There is no way to style my thin hair, so I get to sleep in an extra 10 minutes.
• If Starvation Protester ever becomes a professional job, I will be rich.
• Passing out in public always livens up everyone's day.
• Catching every cold floating around in the winter gives me an excuse to not go sledding when I am already freezing.

***Obviously, I'm kidding. Anorexia is an absolutely awful condition to live with. End of story. But making light of it takes away some of its power, right?***
