Salvation in Nothing

I'm not gonna say that I'm trying something new. It's more like taking another path to get to the same place.

     I've always been big, for as long as I can remember. There are faint memories crafted into my mind

 through pictures and stories told by my family. Times when I was apparently a small agile girl. 

Thin, adorable and remembered. After the change, I remember always destroying any 

picture of myself that I could get my hands on. There are few still remaining, 

but I just avoid them like the plague. There was a time a few years ago,

 when I had reached a goal weight that I was proud of. I had achieved

 it with diet and exercise. It was a long, grueling six months, but 

was well worth it in  the end. I was noticed, attractive

to more guys (cuter ones). But shortly after, 

I began to start hating food. It started 

by first being disgusted by seeing

 other people eat, Listening to the 

sloshing, sucking, gurgling sounds. 

Seeing their tongues squirming around, the

 spit sticking to their food. So I started eating alone. 

I then began to hate eating all together. I couldn't stand how my 

hands were always putting something in my mouth. I hated the echoing 

sound in my ears of my teeth clashing over food. My tongue wandering for scraps. 

It was disgusting, a winner-takes-all war between gluttonous beasts. The gorge-fest wasn't 

worth the investment of my life. I gave up. I didn't want that to be a part of my life. I wanted to 

find out how the other half did. I wanted to be like them. Happy like them. Beautiful... like them. So this

 is where I begin. I haven't been at this that long, but my journey has only just begun. I do not have a scale 

in my house, so 155 is what I was last weighed at 2 months ago. But when I see a significant difference in 

myself, I will make a point to find out where I am at.
