For my independent artistic project, I have decided to use this to get work done for The Binge Love Purge Hate Campaign I started about getting awareness out about eating disorders. I am collaborating with Hayley on it as much as I can, but I don't want to have to rely on another person for things to get done, so I think that the change in blog assignments was a very good idea. Today, I started planning out a viral video that I hope to film in the next week or so. I know that I will be filming it in the bathroom near the auditorium, and I hope to use Emily, Brittany, Abbi, Christa, and Hannah. I already talked to Brittany and Emily and they said they could probably do it. During the video, I want the audio to have some type of music in it, but I also want quotes that would be said by a person with an eating disorder, who does not think they have a problem. I spent about an hour looking up quotes, and I found a few very good ones that I will definitely. These are the quotes:
"Your stomach isn’t growling, it’s applauding"
"A fat stomach never breeds fine thoughts"
"Sacrifice is giving up something good for something better"
"Nothing tastes as good as it feels"
"A moment on the lips, forever on the hips"
"Thin has a taste of its own"
"The hungrier you are, the fatter you burn"
"Thinner is winner"
"If it was easy, everyone would be thin"
The fact that someone would even say these things shocks me, but I do know that is the mind set that a person can be in. Even though it will be a shocking thing to hear, it is something that needs to be exposed. You hear about stories about girls with eating disorders after they are treated, but you never hear about what goes through someones mind on their worst days. That is my goal with this project.
