Will I be able to look back someday and see this as some passing phase adolescences? Or will this be something that I carry with me for the years to come? How can I hold so dearly to something that is proving contrary to all I want it for? And is this what I have become…my identity lies within my eating disorder. Hello, my name is Bulimia. And that is it…nothing else…at least nothing else matters…does it? I feel overly guilty about my weight…in the book I am reading she weighs 60-80 lbs most of the time. How dare I call myself eating disordered and weight double that? She records her weight…I’d feel so overcome with guilt writing down my number. And watching it…just looking at a neatly penned number that to me represents hate and self loathing. How dare I?
I hate this more than I can say...more than I can understand. I hate it for all the typical reasons. It has taken so much away from me...years that I cannot get back, it has made me angry...paranoid...and self-loathing. I am consumed with fear and dread. I am only confortable in certian pants with a sweatshirt... and even then I squirm. My arms are always positioned as if to conceal my fat...that I see, even if you refuse to. I know it is there...I am able to hide it better now...thankfully....maybe I can go on living... maybe not. ICK |
