aww this makes me sad..the part about i stay home all the time and makes up exuses..im that way beause i feel so fat and unattractive. I'm a senior 17 gonna be 18 next year and there are days when i am happy, the days where i weight 110 but there are more days when i feel gross close to 120lbs..by the way im only 5 feet tall so those extra lbs look like alot on me :(
ahh, i can relate about reading old journal entries and also with the weight loss. there is such a mix of feelings that come up when i read old entries... but what i focus on is compassion for my younger self, & that feeling of hope, and appreciation that no matter what it was i was writing about at the time.. things managed to just work themselves out eventually. now that i'm fitter though, i realize it was never really about the weight to begin with..
Wow............the irony of your journal from 2002 is typically how I feel day to day "now" and I am about to be 30 years old..........When you struggle with things in your life some times you feel like if those things were better naturally life would be better.......
Yes. I think that's the indicator here that we should pay attention to. Losing weight or looking a certain way is not a cure-all or some magic solution that can erase the foundation of who we are or what our life experiences have been. If you ever want to chat, I'm here!
In ALWAYS quiet in class..I'm always alone too. i know its my fault because i always chose to be alone.
