GETTHEREsoon

dear me,

remember that you don’t have to stuff yourself silly with food every time you eat. there will be always more tasty food, don’t be greedy, don’t be wasteful. you can always cover your food and eat it later. take less than you think you want there is always seconds. if you feel full just stop. stop telling yourself you need to fill your stomach to the limit. stop feeling nervous. stop putting so much emotion toward what you eat. please let fear subside from your life, it’s been kind of taking over lately. please remember food is to fill your body. it can taste good, you can enjoy it, but it is not your friend. boredom does not equal put more food in your body. try to think of something else to get your mind off the thought. eat a little less bread, eat a little more fruits and vegetables. pace yourself. you will lose this weight in time. you will be all right. please take care of yourself and stop being scared all the time. please do this for you.

thanks and i love you


it’s amazing what the mind can do for you.

i’ve gained weight.

like i’m 15lbs heavier than my lightest goal weight, which was 151lbs.

and usually, usually, i would be in a upset. shaking, crying, calling myself names. but right now, all i know is i need to start exercising more and moving my body. and i’m pretty damn calm about it.

the thing is, this whole time i knew i was gaining weight. like I KNEW THAT. but for some reason my mind just kept telling me different. my clothes got tighter and i just ignored it. and said woah that’s strange. it never dawned on me that i had gained weight. because when i was in berlin and about 10 lbs or so lighter than i am now. (i probably averaged around 158-154 when i was living there without really ever trying that hard. i was just walking around constantly. always moving at my jobs etc.) i was freaking out about my weight constantly. I’m too fat, i’m not good enough. i’m so ugly, etc. etc. i think it was because i was around people so much and i was always always comparing myself. right now…i could care less in a way. i’m at home constantly. i rarely go out into the real world. i sit around A LOT. so because of this naturally i gained weight, and naturally i didn’t notice it because i only wear sweatpants lol.

so now what? well i need to start running again #1, and I need to get off of my ass more often #2. days will go by where i don’t leave the house, and it’s not like im accomplishing anything while here either. i mean the other day i had the urge to go outside and take a walk and i just sat my ass in the house…? what’s up with that? i don’t want to be like that anymore. I want to try my best to get out there more and take walks and explore etc. because even though i’m not in berlin anymore doesn’t mean i can’t still be just as active.

it’s time i stop saying what i will do and just do it. so i will. see you all at the finish line.
