*TRIGGER WARNING*

After Christmas, my eating spiralled out of control.

I started to binge whenever I could.

I've heard your body often does that, because it's worried that this could be it's only food source for a while.

I always hated myself so, so much whilst I ate, but I physically couldn't stop myself.

The control that I had worked so hard for was gone.

At first I didn't really notice any difference.

But one day, my friend told me I 'didn't look so thin anymore.'

Apparently I'm still really thin, but she could tell I had put on weight.

I hated that.

I didn't want to put on weight!

I had kind of managed to push the thoughts back, but they just got dragged back up again.

And so I tried to get into a cycle of restricting again.

And then coronavirus had to go and cancel school and ruin it all.

I could look like I used to right now.

But, until recently, I could only exercise outside once a day, and my mum always made me go on a walk with her.

And I can't restrict properly.

The eating is killing me, at least that's what it feels like.

But there's nothing I can do about it.

I managed to sum up the courage  weigh myself the other day.

55kg.

I've come to the conclusion that I really hate the scales because they never lie.

I can persuade the mirror to lie by sucking in my tummy and doing my makeup in a certain way.

But no matter what I do, the scales with always tell the truth.
