I think December is just going to have to be written off. Honestly, at this point, I'll be ecstatic with just a maintenence of weight. Especially since I'm allowing a binge day on Christmas.
Sometimes I suspect that holidays were created just as an excuse for eating. Ugh. Who needs 'em? I don't even WANT to go home. I want to stay here, isolated in my apartment, where I can do/not do whatever I want whenever I want. It's so much nicer to be on my own.
D. is coming over in a bit. I don't really want him to see me right now, as I am disgusting beyond all possible reason. But I do want to see him.
I honestly wish I could make myself puke. I know it is ineffective (though surely it works better than laxatives...but then, I don't have any of those right now either) and terribly damaging, but I still want it. I can't handle this trying to be normal. D. eats SO MUCH. More than a regular person, I am sure. I'm usually pretty good at making excuses...but I know he wants to take me out (why why WHY does courtship revolve around food? I know it is a social thing, but really!) sometimes--and in fact, tonight he txted early to make sure I'd be available for dinner (one of my more common excuses is that I already ate/am in the process of cooking food).
And I don't want to jeopardize our relationship by letting my fucked-up food problems get involved. I really like D.
I am so sick of this! I don't want to do it anymore! I wish I could go places without having to worry whether food will be involved or not. I wish I could go out to eat like a normal person without thinking about how little I can get away with. I wish I could eat without automatically slipping into binge mode. I wish I didn't like the feeling of lightness, wish I didn't crave to fill the empty spaces, wish I could sort my feelings out without resorting to food.
I JUST WANT TO BE FUCKING NORMAL. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?
You and me both. I long for normality like a drunk longs for the withheld bottle.
ReplyDeleteWe should do what others do with a red bracelet. Make NORMALITY bracelets. Cast a magic spell on the so that when we wear them we know we can be normal and STRONG around food. We calmly order the salad, dressing on the side, eat ONE piece from the bread basket without turning into gorge-a-saurians and bingeing on the whole lot.
*hugs* D sounds cute :p He must be showing affection and treating you by feeding you.
