Unmotivated.
I've failed. My weight loss journey has once again been hurled all the way back to first base. I haven't weighed myself in a while, but by the way I feel and the way I look I wouldn't be surprised if I have gained back all the weight I lost, if not more. The thing is, it's hard to stay on top of things when my motivation is driven by anger and self-loathe. In the past couple of months I've been feeling...content. I haven't been anxious (until today), haven't had a panic attack, and haven't hurt myself. I've been completely content with my life. And as content filled me, my motivation started to wither away and in its place came laziness. This is also my last year of uni so I've been slacking a bit since I don't really have any more classes. Most of my days are filled with a lot of youtube, Korean dramas, and Charmed. I don't even try to find the time or effort to workout or to eat healthy. Today I decided to go shopping, alone. This may sound therapeutic to most, but it can get rather stressful for me. If Im trying on clothes I'm usually rather unhappy with myself. I'm sure you all can understand why. But if I have my friends around I'm usually too distracted to care about how I feel. That's not the case today. Today I see my body for the first time in a long time (because I've been avoiding mirrors) and today every single one of my insecurities and triggers come back. The urge to hurt myself was immediate and overwhelming. I wanted to cut myself, throw my body against the wall, pull my hair out. But aside from the urge of wanting to hurt myself what scared me the most was the fact that I immediately wished I was dead. I know this may seem like an incredibly trivial thing to have such strong emotions over, but the wave of anxiety and self loathe was so overwhelming that I just wanted to punch the mirror and cut deep into my veins. I then turned around, faced away from the mirrors and gathered my things. I was trying to distract myself with the errands I still needed to run. I don't know how to end this, mainly because these feelings have not yet passed. I'm still trying to keep myself from falling into that deep dark pit that I had worked so hard to get out of. Here's to hoping that things don't turn bad again.
