Nip / Tuck

It's getting harder and harder for me to decide which monster has gotten bigger in the past few weeks, my personality disorder, my body dismorphic disorder, or my eating disorder. It's pretty neck and neck to be honest with you, since whenever one achieves a major leap forward, the others become inspired to close the gap. As a result, it's a ( Read more... )

I wish I could make this better, but since you're the only one with that power, I'll try giving you some advice instead.

ANYWAY, I am thinking about how much time and energy I wasted thinking about how horrible my body was.

Anyway, this is why I will never be thin, and that is why I can never be nice
No one said you had to be thin. And anyhow I don't see a direct correlation between weight and demeanor. I think I'm a pretty nice person, and I'd seriously wonder about the sanity of anyone who labeled me thin.

I'm not so sure I'd really like to do anything about itI would have zero problem with this if you were content, but that clearly is not your present situation. And you're ignoring option 2 which is to learn to accept yourself, which is probably the healthiest option, at least mentally. It's definitely not the easiest, but seems to be the most rewarding from my experience, and it can lead you into action ( ... )
