Gluttony again

I need to talk to someone.  I want to know someone understands.

I’ve eaten chocolate.

And I feel vile.

Something has to change.

I really need to stop eating altogether.

But I"m not good enough at denial. I’m too lenient in what I allow.

I am gluttonous.

And it’s disgusting to be a glttonous, bulging anorexic. But possible. Because it’s me.

I have only just recently accepted the label of anorexia, and accepted I have this illness.

But the way I am eating (sometimes), surely will reverse it. It would be indulgent of me to admit to anyone (doctors mainly) I have anorexia. Because I surely eat too much and allow myself too much gluttony to ever truly have anorexia.

I am tired of these mindgames.

I just want to shut down the world, and make things simpler.

I want to be empty and broken. Vanishing.

Even though when I get closer to that goal, I can feel my heart beat so close to my skin. And I don’t feel well. I feel like my parts are unravelling, becoming unscrewed, and everything is slowing down. Rickety. I feel broken. Physically.

But still…

I don’t want to eat.

I think it’s drinks only again.

For a little while.

We’ll see.

i’m used to this routine. You’d think I’d learn.

But I’m stupid and stubborn. And I do as I please.

I wanted to eat chocolate and so I did. Then I didn’t want to eat it anymore but my mind told me I HAD TO EAT MORE. And now there are consequences.

I don’t like this game.

Can I make it stop?

i understand…and you can make it stop. it’s a lot harder than beating yourself up…but if you’re willing to throw yourself into it fully, i think you really can beat this. do it for your body, do it for your sanity, do it for your teaching career, do it for sophie, do it for us… sorry i don’t note on every single entry. sometimes i don’t know what to say…i’m lost sometimes. i’m always reading, and i worry and wish i could do more. xoxox *~

Oh Eliz. Have you contacted a Community Health Centre? They may be able to help. As impossible as it may seem, you can make it stop. It will be the hardest thing you have ever had to do, but it is possible, and well worth it. x

-hug- You can stop this… (though I must admit, I have to tell myself the same thing…) You’re in my thoughts, Elizabeth. -hugs-
