Notes: This was apparently lurking in my head. Forgive me if Harry seems horribly out of character here, or if anything is not well-portrayed. I am in no way trying to trivialize and/or glamourize eating disorders or issues. I’ve dealt with my own eating issues for years, and much of the dialogue in this comes from conversations that I have had with various people when I was in the thick of my disordered behaviours. I won’t say that it’s perfect. No one’s experiences of things are ever exactly the same, but this is just a bit of mine. I guess you could say that art is somewhat imitating life, or rather, what life used to be, in my case. I apologise for this long-winded Author’s Note, and I do hope you can enjoy the fic, which, in spite of the heavy theme, somehow snuck a little humor in.
