I used to try and make myself believe that I liked the way I looked or that I was happy being fat. This was when I was about 35-40 pounds lighter too and I just kept eating and saying I was OK with it,and that I was happy when in all reality I hated myself.I was depressed a lot of the time and I took to self injury something I had done on and off since I was about 14 as an escape and also I think so people would look at the cuts and scars and not at how large I had become for the most-part I'm a pretty happy upbeat person, I can make a joke about anything and that's what I was to myself a joke, and I was hiding behind my ability to laugh it off, and now that we are being completely honest I can admit that I wasn't happy, it was just a front and a way for me to rebel against what others were saying. Now when I cant even walk more than 15 minutes without getting winded and the fact that I have to buy clothes that have no shape and when I look in the mirror and go "ugh gross who is that person?" is when I decided I wanted to change, also the fact that I would love to add more tattoos to my body and I surely don't want the poor tattoo artist to have to lift my fat rolls in order to tattoo me. I want to look at myself and like what I see and not hide it under a baggy shirt or shapeless pants, I will still be me just a healthier me and a me that can actually fit through small spaces, I mean what if I'm ever in a Turkish prison and have to grease my body up and escape through the sewers? I know not likely but it would be nice to be able to fit down the pipe if such a thing were to ever happen. I would like to see my feet again, its been awhile and I miss them.
In the past whenever things got tough or I was bored or bummed out I would turn to food or cutting. Now after not cutting for quite some time, I was still turning to food for comfort and eating till I fell into little food comas and while on this new journey I can still turn to food for comfort just not bags of chips or donuts, I can quietly cry while stuffing apple slices into my mouth or strawberries, I'm slowly starting to realize that things don't have to be like this and if I stick to the plan and don't deviate things will be alright and I will still be awesome just not a giant blimp of a person.
