I feel good when I don't eat. I feel small. The when I eat I get this gross feel. I want it out of me. I only act on it sometimes. If it makes me feel better not to eat ten why not, right? I feel like being skinny is what makes me pretty. I would be so horrible upset if I gained any weight. I want to be perfect!!!! I am going for a goal I can never achieve and that sucks. I want to be okay. I hate this. I am so tired.

Perfectionism can be a huge part of it. I think it's something that you can recognize things like you want everything to be perfect, and also that you are going for an unachievable goal. Nobody could achieve that goal, right? So you could ask yourself why you expect something of yourself that is so unrealistic, and that you wouldn't expect of anyone else. You also have an incompatible goal, to be okay. Which one is more important? You can't do both, so you have to choose. And remind yourself of the choice that you made.
I don't recall if you are in therapy or not, but this stuff is often just too big for us to try to take on all by ourselves, and there is nothing wrong with getting help from someone who knows what to do about it and can help you discover and work towards your true goals so that you can be you, and not be controlled by thoughts that aren't you and that hurt you. __________________ “We should always pray for help, but we should always listen for inspiration and impression to proceed in ways different from those we may have thought of.” – John H.

That makes a lot of sense. It is easier said then done though.
