It's really hitting me now, that I'm going to be like this forever, and I hate it. I've been having a lot of trouble tonight, feeling as though I want to be smaller, to take up less space, to be able to contain my feelings, and knowing that I just can't. I'm not even eating what I'm supposed to, and yet I'm huge.
I'm pretty sure it would help if I felt as though anyone wanted to touch me, but that ain't happening.
I really hate this.

I'm so sorry you're feeling this way, Racer.
Why do you want to feel "smaller" and "take up less space"? I know that I get those thoughts and feelings too when I just want to disappear and totally isolate myself from others b/c of my perception on how fat or unattractive I look. I'd rather judge and condemn myself than risk others from judging me first.It sounds like you're really trying hard to get healthier though. Please hang in there.

I know exactly what you mean.....
I go through these awful phases, that I'm going to be like this forever, I'm going to be hindered completely by my issues etc....
Also I'm 5'10 and female and an English size 12 which is er, hey I take a Gap size 6 to 8 jeans, thats american...... anyway my point being that I wish I could literally make myself smaller - I always feel huge compared to my friends, and guys (although, not obviously tall ones) and hate it that clothes don't fit properly. I would love to be petite and wear heels and not feel like such a lanky giant pear shape all the time. sigh..............
