I wasn't even hungry! But I just ate and ate and ate anyway. Why do I do this to myself? It's like I'm begging for misery and unhappiness. I don't want to be me.
I don't know why I'm living, what's the point I have nothing to offer. I'm just taking up space, even more space than I should be since I'm so fat. I feel like I'm only "loved" because it's expected. You can't just not love your family right? That's something people can't even admit to their own self because they think it would make them "a bad person". I hate my life. I hate myself. And I'm too lazy and scared to do anything about either. It's just me, Mia and Ed.

ReplyDeleteIt is completely, 100% possible to not love your family-- and if they're sticking around and supporting you, then they're not doing it out of some sense of obligation, but because they really care.
ReplyDeleteAnd even if you feel like you're a waste of space at the moment-- and I do, all the time-- you're still functioning well enough to accomplish something. You have potential and worth, even if it's just in raw, unharnessed form.
You can get out this cycle-- maybe you should take a (modified) version of DietLexy's advice?
Start eating three meals a day-- make them healthy, but include a desert if that's what you need to do. The point is to learn what it feels like to eat "meals"-- ones that you fully planned and intended to eat-- instead of bingeing.
Then start reducing, until you feel like you're in control?
Ugh, I've had quite a bit of caffeine so sorry is this rambly, unhelpful, or incoherent :)
You asked about the "chocolate drink". It's about a cup of hot water with one tablespoon of Hershey's unsweetened cocoa (30) and some Splenda. It can help kill chocolate cravings, and even if you have to have several cups, it's still less calories and more willpower than bingeing. At least, that's the theory.
