What people say when they have overcome a life threatening disorder; to do so is an amazing accomplishment which takes intense treatment, hard work, dedication, and a belief in true health. The phrase is one that should never be joked about, as many women die before they are able to say it.

Get the anorexia mug.A serious eating disorder that people (mostly girls but it can happen to guys too) get because they feel that they are too "fat" when usually they're at a healthy, normal weight but are influenced too much by the media's warped idea of what's attractive... (pencil thin, decrepit looking bodies.) The person with this disorder starves themselves, refusing to eat anything at all or only eating small amounts of "safe" low calorie foods. It is extremely harmful to their body and can result in death by starvation if not rectified.
