"That's not a lunch." Jen says, looking at my "lunch". She's peeling the crust off her sandwich. It looks more like she's dissecting the sandwich into a tiny, tiny square.
"Yes it is," I insist. Honey Nut Cheerios. One half of a cup, carefully measured this morning. 55 calories. I should have counted each Cheerio. I plan to count each one as I eat. I pick them up, one by one. I forget to count. They all look like little round edible zeros, reminding me of my goal. Size zero. Size double zero. I arranged them into a perfect heart shape. Don't eat them, you'll break the heart. But I ate them.
My stomach was craving food. But hunger is just a feeling. It's all in my mind, which means it doesn't exist. Hunger is imaginary. It's not real, it doesn't exist. Not real at all. I'm not actually hungry, my stupid stomach is lying to me. Only my need to be perfectly thin exists. Why would I follow some imaginary feeling of hunger, instead of my desire to be perfect?
When my stomach says I want food, I imagine whatever food I'm craving as a huge lump of fat on my body. If I eat it, it'll be an enormous, disgusting pound added to my body. Why would you do that to your body?

I love dry cereal for lunch. It's tasty and almost feels like a real meal :)
ReplyDeleteOh my god, please write a book! Your writing is fabulous. Good job with the intake too. I love smart start in my yogurt but my real fave is life. It has two benefits: delicious & nutritious and it turns a conversation about cereal into a profound discussion (ex: "i like my life dry" "i spilled my life on the floor!")
ReplyDeleteOmg, this post came at the perfect time. Today I was having a bit of a hard time controlling the hunger factor. But this is an amazing way to think about it, an imaginary feeling, something nonexistant that will get in the way of the goal... Thank you so much, stay strong! <3
