I saw the THIN documentory on youtube yesterday. It follows severals womens- some in their last 20s, some in their teens. All anorexic or bulimic. Having the fear of getting fat. So they refuse to eat, or if they do, they purge.
Im chubby. I've been fat for many years. Something happened and i decided that i would rather die than still be fat. Im not stupid. Im not retarded. Im not bipolar. But right now, even after feeling shocked and sad while watching them. I understood. And at the end when they come back home- they all started again restricting or purging. I still have 30 lbs to loose. My doctors says 15 to 20. I say 30. I still feel something horrible inside of me wheni eat something knowing i wont be able to purge it after. My metabolism is at his slowlest. But im trying . I plan to join the college gym, get my own treadmill. And i swear, if i succeed to loose the last 20-25-30 pounds. I will probably get down on my knees and cry.
I feel like im close to nothing. I feel in my head, like my place in this world is so small. Yet, i feel like i take so much space. So much physical space. I want to be thin, I want people to feel my bones, to be careful with me. I want the outside to match my insides.
A while ago i was at like 185. I felt fine, i didnt care that much. I had friends, i had crushes. I had a social life. I was ok with myself. I was overweight and i was fine.
Im chubby and im not fine. Its funny because some guys find my beautiful, and when i refuse to give my phone number or say no, the think i have like this hufe dating life and its competition and blah blah blah. Its so fucking hilarious because before i didnt have that. And i thought it would be..nice to get attention.
Now the last thing i want is to be looked at. And i just can see myself thin, in my little corner- happy to not take so much space. Happy to not be seen at all.

I want to say one thing though. Eating disorders are evil. They fuck your mind. It's 24/7 with this in your head. It's horrible. I hope one day, to be able to enjoy food again. To eat 3 meals a day. Normal ones. To feel good again.
