How did I let myself get this way?
When did I decide to throw life away?
I'm getting further from normality,
As I continuously focus on shrinking me.
When did I choose to put the fork down?
No matter who I see in the mirror it's always wrong.
Rules and numbers, my fears and these tears.
I wish I knew how I got here.
People gossip, and wonder, and stare.
But they will never understand.
No matter how much I weigh
I should always eat less the next day.
Because no matter what people tell me,
Eating like they do will make me a fatty.
How did I get this way?
When did I decide to throw life away?
Please tell me what you think

Very powerful write and such strong emotion expressed. This reminds me of how I felt back in 2005. I went through an eating disorder and looking back on it, it was just horrible. Some people in my life were always bugging me about exercising and saying that if I didn't cut back on pizza that I would get fat and sadly I took it too much to heart and I nearly destroyed myself that summer. I have gotten better since. All I can say is I hope things get better for you. Health is important in life and make sure that you learn to love yourself for who you are and don't let other people get you feeling miserable. Thanks for sharing and keep that pen flowing. Hope you feel better.
