Sick of taking up space.

I’m having a not so great Christmas. I’m just exhausted. And have no patience. And those two things do not work well when you have kids, especially on Christmas. I feel like an awful mother. I’m not doing my best to make today a special day for my daughters.

I know what started my bad mood. It was when I got dressed. I bought some new shirts a few days ago and I put one on today thinking that it would look fine. It’s a size that I was sure would work for me. Yet my muffin top is way too obvious. I hate myself. Well I hate my body.

I’m not exercising. But being completely honest (which I’m not sure I want to be), I’m eating little. I just wished the weight was coming off quicker. I know I need to be exercising on a regular basis, but it’s so hard to get going. I always try but I’m so out of shape I just have this feeling of “what’s the point? I’m never going to get where I want to be”. I stop very quickly, and then feel even worse. If anyone has any tips of staying motivated when you are feeling this way, please let me know.

So the good news is I’m not depressed. Bad news is my body image issue is worse than it’s been in a long time. I’m always a bit down about my body, but right now it’s different. I’m not just uncomfortable, I’m angry. And I’m having a hard time holding back from doing something to make myself feel better.

I’m not sure why my body issues and self-harm are so closely linked. I’m sure there is some psychological connection, but I haven’t really been able to put it together yet.

Yeah I’m not doing too well right now. What is on my mind? I’m thinking about how much I ate today. Double what I ate yesterday. Triple what I ate the day before. And I’m angry. Like really angry. And I do not know what to do.


And I know how I’m thinking right now is not right and unhealthy. I also know that part of me just doesn’t care. I don’t care if I’m not taking care of myself because all I want is to be smaller. I’m sick of taking up so much space.
