blah

I want to write this down before i forget it.  For some reason, I've noticed, when I'm thinking about "how am i gonna get out of eating?"
"what would they think?" etc.  I don't want them to notice I'm not eating, it's like i'm afraid someone will noitce, and force me to eat... but then i just up and decided not to eat breakfast, and all of a sudden it was like "oh, hmm, i hope he's noticing this (my host dad) and then it was like "hmm, no lunch i think"  and for some reason, it was like my whole "i hope thay don't notice" became, "ha, you see? i'm not eating" and then when i felt a bit hungry, it was like "oh, no, i'm not gonna eat until they're gone and no one can see me"  because i don't want him to see me eating.... my mind is so odd sometimes, and i haven't the slightest idea how or why.

Ok, so if i read this in the future, which i hope i will because that's pretty much a major reason i'm doing this, i really hope i remember how unhappy i feel.
i look in the mirror once and see a somewhat normal girl and feel ok...  then no more than 3 mintues later i looked again and my nose is huge, my head is very strange shaped, my body looks bloated and no matter how i try, i can't see anything that doesn't look revolting or very abnormal.  it's getting so annoying, and i don't even really remember when it started, it just did.  i hate hate hate it!!
i'm afraid to think i look good for fear of looking so horrible and abnormal without knowing it, and just....ugh.

i also have gotten to the point where i can't eat around my host dad.  i don't know why, but i just can't.  also screaming kids. i feel just so stupid and oaf like and bloated, stuffing my horrible face with food while kids scream away.....  it's just become pretty much impossible.  i have resorted to eating when everyone has left the room, but that's just very odd and i've started to notice something about the way i feel, and look (reflection in the window) while i do this.... it's just so strange, like i'm in a hurry or something, and i sort of hover over my plate.  at least it feels like i do,and looks like it in the window.....
i don't think i've lost yet... i'm afraid to see, thinking i've gained... i need to start running again....

if i can get to 105 lbs ish by my bday, i'll let myself go shopping at h&m, and if i can get to 90 lbs by november 11 (eleven eleven) i'll get a bellybutton peircing :)
i've gone through too much eating for other people, when all along i just want to live my life. i want to be thin.

Here we go again

music: boys like girls

................ I'm just so tired of trying to say "this is the last day... just eat one more day" or "one more meal" just to get myself to eat.
I'm sick of it.  I told my friend about my past with anorexia/bulimia today. she's the only person I've ever told the truth to besides one other friend,who is a guy. not even my parents. not even my therapist.   my friend told me this other girl I know has had some eating issues lately. 
that got me to thinking again.  for the first time in  a long time.
i DO NOT want to be the fat one when she starts to get skinny.  no no no no no no no no no NO.
even if she stops eating, she still drinks alcohol a lot, so at least i know she gets calories from that.  but i don't drink.  so even if i can't run but don't eat that day, i'll be less than her.  plus she's a bit bigger than me at the moment, so i've got a "head start."

I MUST be the thinnest and prettiest.  I HAVE to...

Comparing... and what's going on?

I noticed (again) today, that when ever im out in public, i always end up compairing my self to the thinness (or lack there of) of the people around me.  and there never seems to be anyone who looks like me.  there are a lot of girls who are thinner and a lot who are bigger, but i never seem to see anyone my size (or so it seems)... when i catch a glimps of myself in the store from window, or in a mirror, i always look stout, short and chubby.  even when i weighed 85 pounds, i still dont think i ever looked that thin...
its like my insides lost weight but my outside never looked too thin, to me at least.... i can't figure it out.  i went to H&M today, and boy did that depress me....  i want so badly to be pretty enough to wear some of those clothes!! but if i did now, i'd look ridiculous, ackward, and stupid for trying to look fashionable.  all because im too chubby looking (in my eyes)..
lots of other girls my same BMI look a whole lot more normal than me. im shaped like an overweight, middle school boy. :(  i don't quite understand.. maybe my old scales back home were 10 pounds off and i really weigh 10 pounds more... i just feel ugly and gross, and i actually had to leave the store because i was so humiliated, and wait for my host mom  (who i was to meet there) outside, for the aprox 30 minutes that i was supposed to use trying on clothes etc.
i told her i forgot my money.
when asked if i was hungry, and i instantly said i had a stomache ache.... but i don't really know why i said that, since i didn't..  i just felt this feeling of not wanting to eat.  not like the normal, oh i just don't feel like eating right now.
no, more like a i can't  stand the idea of putting something like food into this gross body.  i don't need it, i have some weight i can lose. it would make me prettier and then happier, i guess. at least happier than i am now...
i've only had this strange feeling a few times before, and only recently, at that. 
before, it was like i wanted soooo badly to eat, but wanted to "resist"  but now this feeling is just different.
and a bit scary, cuz when i feel like that, i can't really talk myself into eating.
where the fear of loosing control and binging used to rule (and still completely did until about 2 weeks ago) this new fear of losing control is taking over (it feels like).
not to lose control and binge, but to lose control and starve myself.
i would have never thought id not want to eat.  i don't quite know what to think....
has my metabolism shut down? should i be worried?  am i just not hungry, finally?
or is this something bad?
..... < :-(

No Mirror, no scale, no idea...? and some of my history.

Sep. 10th, 2008 | 02:21 pm
mood: blank blank


So, since being here in Germany, i have no mirror, no scale, and absolutely no idea what i look like or weight.  im beginging to freak out.  at home int he US i was used to it being thee everyday. i thought, hey, maybe this will be good for me, maybe ill finally be free of this confusion and stuff, but no.... i was wrong. 
confusion and stuff being the fact that i went from 108 pounds (my highest at the time)  to 82 pounds at the age of 19. ( im 5' 6".) in a matter of 2 months last winter.  then i had to come home from college cuz i was afraid of dying someday there... alone on a run,  lying on my bed after binging all day on a weekend, or in the bathroom having taken 3 times the reccomended amount of laxatives.   so i came home.  no one actually knows the real reason.  (except you if anyone is reading this) they all think its cuz i was home sick and out of money.  they all also knew i had eating issues, but didn't think i thought so.  i knew.  so i came home and for some reaso, not sure why, but it happened. 
i startedto eat. and eat. and then pretty soon i was gaing weight.  i thought  "oh, i'm already so fat now that i gained 5 pounds and then 5 more, that if i lose those 5, ill still be fat."  then it became 10. 15. 20. 25.30. 35.  i finally stopped the gaining but was soooo humiliaed, i refused to go out in public orsee anyone. i almost became reclusive from my family, but i got into therepy before that happend.  my therapist helped withthe social anxeity, but the rest of the time (and i feel HORRID  about this, for wasting money i guess) i was just kinda playing stupid and not ever did i mention my food issues. ever.  so that went on for 2 months, and then i got up enought nerve to go out in public, but i haven't seen anyone i used to know, besides my family and one friend, for a year now.  and everyday, its a battle not to throw up, binge, or starve.  i usually have isues, like saying "todays the last day" and then it never is. 
i don't know what to think.  i came to germany hoping to get away from my old life, but it followed me.  no one knows about my past here though, so thats a bit better.  and the ED part of me is yelling in the back of my head "now you can do it! now you can really be pretty!! and thin!! just 400 a day!! you can do it!!" 
i don't know what to do... and so if i write my mixed up brain slosh out here, maybe ill be able to help myself see... i hope.

but secretly, i wish to be 85 again.  i felt pretty.  id never felt pretty before in my entire life, and i did the day i came home.  we went shopping. i tried onsome tiny jeans. and they actually fit. 
i wish SO HARD every night to wake up that morning and have the last 9 months to be a bad dream.... but it never works. ever.
