my name is ana ceci and when i was 14 became obsessed with what it meant:
āJapanese term that literally means ābelly cuttingā. It refers to a form of ritual suicide by disembowelment, historically practiced by samurai in Japan.
Performed as an honorable way to die rather than fall into enemy hands or to atone for failure or disgrace.ā
obviously as an angsty suicidal teen i loved it so my friends stated calling me anakiri and 12 years later my real name barely exists outside my family š suicide in a graceful honorable way, a way i had never seen portrayed before. :)

Why would I be anorexic when I can walk, work out 3ā4 times a week, play tennis or padel on the weekends, and eat healthyājust like my amazing nutritionist mom, taught me?
Having an eating disorder is for miserable people, and Iām NOT miserable anymore.
I think being anorexic in your 20ās is sad, I already have various chronic illnesses and problems from it, take care of your body itās a temple, you can look however you want in a healthy way. ā„ļø I hate seeing millenials glamourizing anorexia and then complaining about how they canāt have babys, or forgetting to mention the horrible parts that come with itā¦I want to be a mother one day, run around with my child and break all the negative patterns I had to suffer, I wanna grow old, healthy and fabulous, anorexia is not the way, Recovery is real. Sending love to you all.
