Is This Turning Into Anorexia?

I remember the first time I looked in the mirror and felt dissatisfied with my body. It was during my sophomore year of college, and I had just started dating someone new. Suddenly, I felt the pressure to look a certain way, to be thin and attractive. I started skipping meals and exercising excessively, all in the name of achieving the 'perfect' body. At first, it felt empowering to have such control over my appearance, but soon it spiraled into something much darker. My friends and family began to express concern, but I brushed it off, convinced that I was just being healthy. It wasn't until I fainted during a workout that I realized things had gone too far. I sought help from a therapist and nutritionist, and slowly began to rebuild a healthier relationship with food and my body. It's been a long and difficult journey, but I'm grateful to be on the path to recovery.
