I'm sitting in bed, on PT and watching 'X-Weighted' on tv with my cat trying to climb on my stomach, but I keep pushing him away because then I can't see my laptop. :/
So on PT, there was a topic called "I remember a time..." where you post the things you remember before having an ED. It looked harmless, so I posted. Then, taking the walk down memory lane, it made me cry thinking about how long it's been since I could eat food without feeling major guilt and wanting to fucking kill myself. All the family moments we used to have that centred around food. I guess I started linking food with family, togetherness, and a time of innocence. And now, I feel like EVERYTHING in my life centres around FOOD. I'm missing out on so much, and a lot of it includes family. I don't eat family meals anymore. I go out to restaurants maybe once a month, if that (whereas we used to go two-three times a week). I can't sit down to watch a movie with my dad and sister because they always eat junk and I can't be around that. I hate that I've isolated myself from the people who mean the most to me all because of food.
And then there's the issue of friends. I was thinking recently about where we'll all go after graduation- who I'd still be friends with, who I wouldn't care to see anymore, who I'd let go- and I realized I only have one real friend. Everyone else I've decided is just 'temporary', a filler for a friend. This one friend, however, I don't even hang out with much and we still may end up going separate directions, but I want to keep her in my life so badly. We've been through a lot together and we always give each other pep talks when we're down. We try to hang out, but our plans always fall through. I really hope we can stay friends, but we'll see...
So anyway, I don't know what the point of this post is. I'm hungry, but I won't eat. I've got a can of coke zero and hunger pains and I keep thinking about going into the kitchen for fruit and crackers, but I don't want to. :/ See, every thought in my mind is about food.
FUCK, this is so fucked.
Well, I think I'm done with this post, so peace out.
I saw that post as well, I'm really sorry it's like that. I feel like my life is centered around food as well, people use it so much as a medium to spend time together.I think its like that for most people with ED'S We're always hungry. It's your body telling you what it needs. Don't let it get you down too much.
