Today,s post might be upsetting to quite a few people.
Lately, I've been struggling with the idea of what to do with myself. And by that, I mean with my physical appearance. I don't have money, so it's not like I can afford to get special treatments like coloured contacts or get my hair done... or even just join a gym for that matter. None of that is possible. So what's the last choices available to someone who can't afford anything good? Well... perhaps it's regaining a lost eating disorder.
There was a time that I pretty much was anorexic. But being so big, it didn't look scary at all. I did lose a significant amount of weight, but it still wasn't anywhere near enough to look normal. And then I made friends. And I went slowly back to eating well again... and it got so bad... I ended up bigger than before I did all of that.
And now I'm thinking of cutting back to almost as much as that time. Maybe even less, actually.
I'm trying to psyche myself out of it. I know it's not healthy, but it's so tempting as a last resort. I'm trying to watch videos of how people are near death because of it, but they never looked anything like me, so I keep thinking that's not going to be me, because I'm not going to ever get that small, anyways. And probably not anywhere near where their healthy weight is/was. And so... the temptation lives on.
We'll see what happens. There's a good chance it might happen soon. People keep telling me to change if I don't like who I am... and since it's the only option I have left (and hey... saves money!) it may just come down to doing that again.
If I looked more normal, maybe someone would love me. Maybe people would want to be with me. Maybe I wouldn't get judged too quickly and people will take time to know me because I'm closer to normal than what I'm like at this very moment. I could only hope, and it can't really hurt to try, can it?
I'm tired of hearing bad comments because of how I look. I don't stand a chance anywhere because of it. I feel like I don't REALLY have friends because of it. It feels like everyone's got a hidden agenda when it comes to me and it's just because of how I look. It's horrible. I want it to stop.
I don't even have dreams and goals in life. All I had was crushed. Why? I wasn't good enough. How am I not good enough? I'm FAT.
What do you do when that's all your life is about?
You change. In any way you can. And the only way I can... is to stop something.
We'll see where this goes. I may start my program soon, I may not even do it at all. But the hardest part is knowing this would be my last resort. If I had money, I could at least join a gym and have a friend with me and try to see what comes of that. But I can't. So go for the cheapest option. And it just so happens that if you don't spend money on food, you can save quite a bit!
An eating disorder may be a horrible disease, but being fat is even worse.
