Thoughts on Martin and his mum:
(tw emotional abuse, body image issues, binge eating, transphobia)
I'm saying this with my desi Martin and trans Martin headcanons in place
So imo Martin is an only child who was forced to care for his mum from around 14
His mum was the type of person to be very stubborn about her illness and insist she needed no help while berating Martin for not helping as well so I feel like he had to walk ok eggshells around her
Martin was raised with the "daughter of a desi household" mentality where he offers everyone tea and cleans up and eats last which reinforced his whole I don't matter complex
She made comments about his body, the usual you should lose weight, you're not eating enough etc etc
I headcanon him as struggling with binge eating, cause he stress eats and then he feels disgusted with himself and hears his mum's voice and then starves himself and then the cycle continues
He also has convinced her that he's just a tomboy rather than a trans guy which she isn't happy about but is still better than if she came out
He fantasises about coming out to her, shouting, screaming and rejecting her just like she's rejected him but in reality knows all he'd want is for her to accept him
This all led him to be an extreme people pleaser, he manipulates in the sense that he guessed what people want to see and does that and creates an image wherein he is the butt of jokes to allow there to be jokes in the first place
He sees himself as an instrument, a placeholder, an empty space for other people to take up and as much as it keeps him "safe" he also resents it and dreams about one day snapping
After she dies, his biggest feeling is relief...he channels all that guilt into his feelings about Jon but he can't shake off the general sense of freedom from the cycle of abuse
In conclusion, the man needs bucket loads of therapy

Emotional eating doesn’t work
Because when I try to eat my feelings I still end up feeling like shit once the sugar rush is over.

I'm ready to recover from my eating disorder [24.01.2024]
I decided to recober from my eating disorder. I mean, it's not like I didn't want to recover before, but I always expected/ hoped it to kind of go away by itself. but it doesn't. when I put a lot of effort and energy into it, then I eat kind of healthy and normal but I feel very exhausted from it. the second I let go, I go back to disordered eating immediately. and disordered eating HURTS.
I can't take this cycle of pain and exhaustion of my eating anymore. I downloaded a food diary app that has a focus on mindful eating. I want to focus on this now, to miake my recovery important, to not assume it's gonna "work out somehow"
I know I can eat healthily. I know it because I eat healthily when I'm with other people or when I'm going out and in a good mood. I know I can eat when I'm hungry and stop when I'm full and not eat away my feelings. I know I can listen to my body and eat what it is craving for.
I also know I can eat disordered very easily. pretty much as soon as I am alone or in a slightly bad mood, I know I can overeat and not even pay attention to it. I know I can eat too much, so much that it is physically painful and know I am hurting myself and keep going. I know I can obsess over nutrition to not have to adress problems in my life.
I know that this is hurting me. I don't know how much, but I know it is responsible for a part of my suffering. this cycle makes me sad and unhappy with myself and tired and sluggish and unmotivated and desperate and hopeless. I am convinced I would have an amazing life if I lived in a world without internet and sugar.
I want this life. I want to live without worrying about what I'm eating and watching and feel like I can't trust myself and do things which I know are hurting me. I want to just live and experience and be

It's been five months since I've finished reading Bing An Ben, and I haven't fully recovered from it. To this day, I couldn't find a book that could fill me emotionally, not as much as Bing An Ben. I like the characters, but I don't feel like dying from them. I like the story, but it doesn't kill me.
I think I will be like this until Meatbun releases her new novel.
