I stopped because it was ruining me
It made me a clammed shell (shy and insecure)
I had to stop because i was scared
I was scared of what i could become (a whale)
I stopped because it made me feel better
I felt pretty again
Now that i've stopped i dont cry in the mirror
i dont scratch and claw at the rolls of imperfection
Now that i've stopped i dont feel so ashamed
I dont hate myself for the person in the mirror
Because i stopped i'm light as a bird
My body could foat like air
...
Because i stopped i have no more friends
everyone around me is sad, but atleast i'm thin?

You're obviously very talented, these poems really get to me, in a good way. I think it would be better without the explanation though, on lines 2 and 4. Because then the reader can leave it to their imagination and create a whole other load of meaning.
Thank you for this.

a good poem penned, ah there is a price to pay for not eating, loss of friends is but one of them, but not eating will kill you!
