I know you think that being that thin would make you happier, and honestly I can't stop you from thinking that. But take it from someone who was eating disordered. It is pure hell. I thought being thin would be nice. And I will admit, it was nice to see the numbers on the scale go down for a while. However, people who are not eating disordered do not see the other things we face. All they see is the weight loss, which is only a small cause and effect of the disorder. It becomes an obsession, and when you don't make your goal, you feel even worse about yourself than before. You feel like you are being stifled and dragged into a dark pit, with no visible way out. You feel helpless because there isn't anyone to understand. That is how it feels to be that thin.
I am slowly but surely getting past my eating disorder now. I have gained more self-confidence than I had before and have learned to appreciate my body for the things it can do, not just what it looks like. I am learning how to eat properly and focus on the things that really matter. You should try that too. And get this: I am slightly heavier than my eating disordered days, and I am happier than I have ever been in my life. I am not as thin as the model in your picture, but I have a lot to offer in the world, and I am sure that you do too. You just need to find it. I know it's there. But if you keep looking at your body and weight you can't look in other places. Then you can't find it.
On a side note, I know you know that those pictures are photoshopped, but here is a short video showing what exactly is done to those photos (and that is only the girl's head). Please take a look. (Click on "Evolution.")
I think the one thing you need is a self-esteem boost. If you really love yourself, you will take care of yourself and won't want to do things that could hurt your body for the sake of "looking better."
