When I don’t eat enough, I get low blood sugar and I find it hard to concentrate and function enough to do anything. And that’s just from skipping a meal, let alone if I hadn’t eaten for days or was subsisting for years on a very small amount of calories. When I see anorexic people in movies or books, they seem to have enough energy to exercise compulsively, go to school or work, and other things. Is it that their eating disorder gives them anxiety and that makes them more energetic? Or does your body just get used to not eating and functions fine after a while?

ex (?) anorexic here- you get used to it or learn how to deal with it. we all seem to have coffee or energy drink addictions. some of us live(d) off of things like electrolyte packets or gatorade zero. i used to go >!2 days!< without eating at times, and the worst symptoms i would get were brain fog and just general tiredness
