Even if I lose weight, I'll never like my body. So many stretch marks....

I’d rather have a Hades in my life than a Zeus. There’s something far more appealing in a man who is as dark as the night sky but loyal, as opposed to a man who is brighter than the sun but has a dishonest heart.

I feel invisible sometimes. I look at myself and there’s nothing there.

I guess my life hasn’t always been happy, or easy, or exactly what I wanted. At a certain point, I just have to try not to think too much about certain things, or else they’ll break my heart.

Eating Disorders
The thing about all these bulimia and anorexia based accounts is that they don’t promote it. In fact, they promote health. Every time someone asks them what should their goal weight be, the accounts always answer a healthy number, or simply say ‘eat healthy and exercise’. These people can’t see the beauty in themselves, but they do in others. They know they’re destroying themselves, and they try to not get other people sucked into the whole eating disorder thing. In it’s own sick, twisted way, I think that’s beautiful.

some of my favorite feelings
feeling sick when i eat fast food or junk because my body’s adjusted to healthier food and now craves it 
my skin being sensitive where my hip bones are because there aren’t millions of layers of fat cushioning them anymore 
waking up and feeling the dip of my stomach, knowing it’s smaller than it was last week 
looking in the mirror and noticing a piece of clothing is looser 
looking at old pictures of my body and comparing them to new, recent pictures 
my rings slipping off of my fingers because they’re too big for me now 
realizing you need to go down a size instead of up one 
the taste of fruit, gum or tooth paste instead of fats and carbs when i want to binge
warm tea, water or broth calming my stomach when i’m hungry in the evenings after a successful day 
sweat rolling down my neck or back, because i’m cleansing and strengthening my body 
slipping the belt hook in a notch it’s never been able to reach before, or latching my bra on the inside hooks because it’s starting to get loose 
starting to fit into mainstream clothes at popular stores because my body is getting closer and closer to perfect 
looking down at the scale and seeing it’s lower than it was the last time you checked
