what a terribe thing to waste.

When thinking about the word 'waste' the one thing that stands out in my mind is the idea of a body wasting away. Seeing a close friend or family member having their body change from healthy to complete skin and bones. Having family deal with sicknesses that cause them to lose an excess amount of weight and having them look completely different from what i was used to was really difficult to deal with. I also have dealt with a friend who was anorexic, and seeing her waste away to almost nothing was horrible to watch, i would see her buy a lunch and sit there and nibble only on the carrots and celery of her small salad. It also hurt to know that the food was going to waste and knowing she was aware of what she was doing and was okay with seeing her body just waste away to nothing.
