Arg, My Brain
Posted: 05-24-06 08:37am

Im so confused.
Part of me knows im still underweight, but I still feel fat.
I just dont want to gain. Why???????????? I hate this, I dont know what to do.
Part of is , I think, that im not that much underweight, and there's a safety in being skinny.
But I still get upset when that scale creeps upward, even if its like, a pound.
Part of me wants to gain, wants to be normal. I used to have that resolve. What happened? I feel like ive lost it, and I could slip back into trying to lose weight again. Why am I such a freak?
I hate being this way. I hate my brain. Part of me things "well stop then".
Part of me thinks "you fat cow, you eat so much, and youre just gonna get fat. You arent doing this right."
what is the right way? I workout (not toomuch, just a healthy amount- the doctor even said so-)
i eat enough, though its getting increasingly harder to feel that full feeling and not feel fat, and part of me feels like im bingeing.

Im sorry, I dont know what im asking here. I just feel like im in a rut, and I am starting to lose my resolve.
I have a headache. I feel like im a selfish, lying, horrible person sometimes, whether its true or not.

I thought I was past this stage. Why does it come back without warning? Why is my brain out to make me miserable?

Thanks for listenting to me rant, I apreciate it. :?

First of all, your not a freak. Like you said your confused. Most girls have an issue with how much they weigh. Mainly because of television and the way public portrays us. When you watch television you see the young pretty skinny, tan girls. Never the over weight girls. Don't feel like you are fat, and a pound, thats nothing much to worry about.
I used to feel the same way as you do. One minute I was thinking omg I ate to much I am gaining weight and I won't look right. My legs are getting to big or my stomach is getting to big. I believe this all starts in high school for girls. Sometimes people would say things to me to make me feel like I was starving myself to death too. I would get so confused and not know what to do.

I would exercise because I wanted to make sure my stomach had no fat on it. I wanted the perfect body. I am sure your not fat, just you may have low self esteem. And its not a bad thing to eat. Actually, guys would rather have a girlfriend with some meat on her bones than a girlfriend that looked like she weighed 80 or 90 pounds.

The media portrays girls as having to be perfect by being skinny and its a shame. Because girls start out at young ages feeling like you do.

Try and feel confident about yourself. Think of the things you like about yourself and take pride in who you are. Not the way you look in the mirror and don't worry about one pound, try to have fun while you can, life's about living and trying to enjoy it, not worrying over how fat or skinny you look. :)

good luck and I hope everything works out for you. :d

Thank you a lot for replying, it means a lot. :)

i dont think I know what I want from my life. I dont know how to be "normal", and I didnt think I used to have this problem, but I think I have a body-image, like, misconception. I feel fat, I look down at myself and think "i look normal, look, I have big thighs" and then, sometimes, I look in the mirror and think I look like a freak. Too-skinny.

If I knew what was best, it would be so much easier. But then, no one knows, really, what to do, a lot of the time. I seem to think they do though.

Thanks again, you really helped, I just only have my point of view, and thanks for another!
