I know I haven't been great at replying to emails or comments recently
And I know some of you are worried
I am ok
Or at least I will be
I just feel so stupid
So silly that I thought I could lose a few pounds and leave it at that
I'm now at the weight I wanted to be
But is it the weight my body wants to be?
I'm not so sure
I almost feel like I've been duped
Or tricked by my ED
By my own mind
She tempted me with the usual false promises
That I will be happier
Thinner
Prettier
More successful
If i just lost a few pounds
What really gets me is that I fell for it
I didn't even see it coming
I really thought that I was in control
I mean honestly
I am/was in early recovery
How could I have possibly thought that losing weight was a good idea
But at the same time
I don't want to give myself too hard a time
Because that can feed in to the disorder too
I know I need to regroup
Refocus
Learn from this Mistake
And get back on track
I've been on my own for the last few days
And it's been utter bedlam
My dogs look at me going from to bathroom
They sense that I'm not fully present
Because I'm not
I'm all over the shop
My thinking
My behaviours
My mood
Anxiety
And I feel like utter horse shit
I'm dizzy
I'm lethargic
My body feels like it's taken a beating
Probably because it has
I haven't heard from Mary yet
I'm sure she's busy
But I hope I hear from her soon
I can't go on like this
It will kill me
I know it will
I really appreciate all of you who have left comments, texts and emails
Thank you
And you make so much sense
I know I am fighting against what my body wants and needs
Maybe I am meant to be a little bigger than this
What is wrong with that?
It seems that is fine for others
But not for me
I hold myself to a different standard
I need to stop doing that
So
I am ok
I'm here
Still fighting
And not giving up....
Keep fighting beautiful lady!! Got your back and always here! Xo
ReplyDeleteThanks Hun
DeleteThat means a lot x
Keep fighting!! As you say, it will kill you eventually--that is the ED's one and only goal. Fight it every step of the way. When it tells you to be thinner, remind yourself to ask why. Why do you need to be thinner? Who cares if you're thinner? In the grand scheme of things, does a number on a scale really matter?
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't. But YOU do.
