Well, I guess I'm going to be completely honest;
I've got no where else to write it down, and Aya can't answer her phone right now, so..
As some of you may know (if not, you will now), I'm not skinny.
Never have been, never will be.
And to be honest, I've had enough of "fatty" remarks, of not being able to buy the clothes I like.
I come form a place in which skinny means beautiful. I was not beautiful in my opinion.
I hated myself, hated my body (even though I'm not
that fat). My self confidence wasn't in existence.
I was not aware of my actions at that time. And I decided Anorexia is, probably, my only solution. That happened after trying numerous diets and tricks.
Today I understand it's just the shape of my body. I'll always have the "guitar" body. I just need to lose a few extra pounds.
ANYWAYS. I started starving myself, living on vegetables, soups. I kept a diary in which I wrote what I've eaten (or haven't) each day. Posted "Thinspo" pictures.
It lasted for not more than a month, in which I didn't really lose weight (but didn't gain any either.)
I than became aware of what I was doing, I realized I'm being stupid, that I'm hurting myself. I didn't want to hurt myself, I just wanted to be thin. After a few more days I stopped. I started eating normally again. 3 meals a day, even ice cream and chocolate. I gained back the fewest pounds I've lost. I was healthy.
I'm still healthy. I'm okay with my body, I know that's just the way I look and nothing can change it.
So far, so good. I've beat the anorectic-me, I wasn't even deep enough in it to not-be-able to get out. I stopped starving myself. I felt proud for being able to stop myself from hurting myself anymore. The only thing that was left was the diary I wrote. I kept it to prove myself how stupid I was. To remind myself to NEVER AGAIN do the mistakes I chose to do a couple of months ago.
My mom found that diary today.
You can imagine her reaction, I bet.
She came and got me out of work 2 hours earlier. She yelled, a lot. She cried. I cried. I still am trying to explain her that I'm really out of it.. But I can understand why she's scared. She's scared because I chose the most horrid way to hurt myself without knowing, at that time. She's scared cause she could have lost me. Because of me.
My dad already knows. My uncle knows, too, and mom's best friend as well. I'm not allowed to eat alone anymore. She's decided to move my room upstairs, where she can keep an eye on me at all times. "I want my daughter back", she said. She's keeping the diary. She said that when I'll prove I'm really out of it, she'll burn it.
And I.. I have no idea how to show her I'm out of it. She's willing to "help", and she certeinly is listening to me. I just don't know what's going to happen from now on.
I.. just had to share that.
