yeah, you are absolutely right laurie.
I wish i could stand to gain weight and still be happy. But for some reason, I dont know why, maybe im vain, my self esteem is tied very strongly to my fitness. Maybe coz i was over weight as a kid and got bullied for being so. So ever since i have then, I've turned into a fitness freak. Obsessively so. I had to, in order to fit in with the crowd and survive.
Right now my primary concern is anxiety, nothing more. But when my weight becomes un manageable, like it crosses a certain point i get severely depressed. I dont have any kind of support that i can count on. My family believes im possessed by a spirit. They basically leave me alone in my room. All alone, all day, all year. given such circumstances i just cant handle depression right now. Anxiety i can deal with, but im not so sure i can survive depression.
