Let's Not Auto-Medicate

I just realized something today.

My head was hurting so badly in Physics class and I felt like I was going to faint from tiredness. Because of it, I couldn't even understand the lesson and I was just wishing the time came around to go home so I could take a pill or something.
The time came and I went home, and instead of taking a pill, I fell asleep. Once I woke up, no one was in the house, so I went downstairs for a light snack to cure the tiredness I still felt.
Now, I know eating will not cure that at all. But I keep doing it. You know, auto-medicating with food, which is one huge mistake. Why? Because even with food in your stomach, your symptoms won't go away, so you're left (in my case) with a huge belly and a piercing migraine.
The worst part is that after you eat to cure yourself and the pain still doesn't go away, you say, 'Hmm, I guess I have to eat more...' and you eat. And it still doesn't go away.

I need tea instead of food! I need a box of aspirin as well. With that, I can stop being this huge vat of lard that walks around in loose sweaters so no one can see how horrible she's become.
Ever since I moved in with my grandma, I've gained 8 pounds. That's in a 1 month period. But no worries, (I tell myself so I can stop freaking) I move out in a matter of days. Our new house is still not organized thoroughly but I can prefer that than being in a house that serves 3 meals a day.
When I'm alone, my willpower comes back and I can focus solely on losing weight and pinching myself here and there in front of the mirror. Plus, no one checks what I'm eating, or how strange it is that  I go to the kitchen to serve tea instead of food.

I now weigh 54.1 kilos. I'm just waiting for Ana's voice to become stronger, and break through the chains that keep me tied to disgrace.

  1. Hi again! I'm probably around 54-55kg currently; I don't have a scale to weigh myself, but I've definitely put on 3-4kg since coming to Italy. I'm working on helping ed get stronger. Sounds so messed up... but I need it. Keep working! Ideally, I just want to be under 50 kilos, even 49.9 would be great. Xo

    1. I know right? Once you fall down the 50kg on the scale, the feeling is so beautiful. Let's get a hold of our willpower and lose those kilos! xo
