My thoughts as someone who used to run an Ana tumblr account and website - why Liv posts so much

Hi everyone, I am 23, but 3 years ago I used to run an anorexic page on tumblr. I used to post RELENTLESSLY because I needed the validation and attention so badly to fuel my eating disorder.

When my account got taken down, I lost so much motivation to starve, which is why I went to the trouble of starting a website to redirect tumblr traffic to for when my second, third, and fourth (and so on) accounts got banned by tumblr.

I needed the attention - negative and positive, to keep going. I am certain that is why Liv posts so frequently. Like yeah it’s her job and she’s trying to attract a larger audience, but also, you need to keep your mind fixated on your appearance and thinness AT ALL TIMES otherwise you can so easily slip and realise there is a life beyond how thin you are and how little you can eat.

You need to maintain the delusion and get others to endorse it - that a thin body and restriction is your peak. It’s so fucking sad that she lives like this, and watching her is so weird as someone who used to have a very similar business going. There are so many parallels and I feel like I can predict her thought processes with many of her posts.
