Today's (second) binge was brought to you by the little local food mart down the street from my apartment!

1 loaf of honey bread with loads of butter

12 apple cinnamon muffins with butter

8 oatmeal creme pies

1 loaf cinnamon raisin bread with cashew butter (not pictured)

Binge #1 was totally unplanned and brought to you by my roommate's side of the pantry :/  oops...

I am up to about 15,000 calories today and you know what they say-- 3,500 calories is one pound gained. Guess that's +5 lbs for me... Here I come, obesity! On the fast train!

Sigh.

Today's Unholy Feast

Get ready. Bc this is what today consisted of:

4 buttermilk biscuits piled sky high with butter and six Little Debbie Boston Creme Cakes for dessert.

So much butter! I am disgusting!

Chocolate cake with vanilla frosting.

Lemon cake with whipped cream lemon icing.

This, on top of regular meals.  

I don't really have anything else to say today, it's too depressing.

Buttermilk Biscuits, OMG! I HATE YOU!

Soooo THIS happened about twenty minutes ago.

I went to the grocery store just to buy some dog food and some fresh fruit. I SWEAR that was my only plan.

but then there were these four HUGE buttermilk biscuits on sale looking at me in the face like, EAT ME! EAT ME! 

So I bought them, a contiainer of butter, and some Little Debbie snack cakes (the new ones shaped like coral reefs or whatever). 

I brought them home, and I started buttering the biscuits after I heated them.  Then I starts thinking about that container of butter and I was like, well, what else will I use it for? And I figured nothing! So I used it ALL on the biscuits. Empty butter container here now.

Those biscuits... OMG I have never tasted anything so GOOD! Wow! It has been years since I ate real, honest to god biscuits and O M G .

Then I tackled the snack cakes.

OMG. I AM SUCH A FAT ASS.

This is happening right now.

Chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, cherry chocolate, and lemon. Every single one of them, after eating a dozen Hawaiian sweet rolls with butter.

Step on the scale, STEP OFF THE SCALE!

Goal Weight 1: 150 lbs

Goal Weight 2: 140 lbs

Goal Weight 3: 125 lbs

I stepped on the scale today and had to get right back off. I couldn't believe what I saw! 167.2??? No fucking way! Stepped off, stepped back on, same numbers. Omfg.

I have to lose more than 50 pounds! Fifty pounds to even be a normal weight!!!!!

Ugh, I wish I was dead.  It seems so much more appealing than living in this body.

Cake.

Currently tackling this by myself :( HELP.

Help. Sinking.

Pierogis smothered in butter

Soft tacos stuffed with melted cheese

Bread n butter 

3 fun size Butterfingers bars

2 fun size baby Ruth bars

1 full size snickers bar

That's not as bad as it has been. But it's still over twice as much as I should have! It's almost three times as much! What am I doing to myself?? 

It's not even 10:30 and I've already had...

Breakfast: pancakes n sausage (400) with milk (180)

Chocolate chip cookies (800), icing (600), waffles with syrup and butter (600), bagels with strawberry and cinnamon cream cheese (800), toast with butter (300), and cinnamon rolls (1200)

Triggering Photo (photo not included)

So, yesterday, my sister sent me a photo of myself when I was under 90 lbs and in treatment with an ng tube. I was very tiny (I was 16 and probably 5'3" bc I wasn't yet done growing and probably about 83 lbs), ng tube sticking out of my nose and rolled behind my ear, smiling and making a heart symbol with my very skinny, veiny hands at my own heart. I look very much like I have an eating disorder in this picture.  It is very obvious that I have an eating disorder. So my sister sent me this photo and with it, she wrote "Mom found this and wanted you to have it. She said it makes her sick to see how thin you once were, but that maybe it will make you feel better about how heavy you've gotten these past weeks. Love you!"

Um, wtf?? Sooooo I look disgusting, but maybe it can be a positive experience for me to look at it bc either A, it's better to be obese than emaciated OR B, maybe I can draw inspiration from it and not be fat anymore.  I'm not sure what my mom's intention was with that comment, but seriously WTF??? 

 NEVER send an eating disordered person who is sort of in recovery or who has just gained a bunch of weight a picture of themself at their absolute thinnest!  Seriously!! Common sense!! That is TRIGGERING!!! It's triggering even without the stupid comments, but even more so with them!! 

My mom is stupid for passing that on and my sister is stupid for actually doing it!

I am so mad and so so sad right now, I can't even type about it.  Now, I have this picture that I can't throw away bc my e.d. is like "keep it for motivation! you can do that again! you can get there again!" but I don't want to have it bc it makes me so so sad bc I'm so huge now and I was so tiny then.... So tiny.  

Just when you think it can't get worse, it goes ahead and gets worse.  People suck.

Fat Prejudice is Real

I went to another job interview yesterday. It was for a file clerk at a dental office in Manhattan. I felt prepared and I wore a nice outfit with nice shoes, everything fit, I looked nice.

When I got there, the woman at the front desk was this beautiful Italian looking woman, when she stood up, she was about my height and about 120 lbs. Perfect.

My interviewer was a tall slender blonde woman, also perfect.  The assistant who asked me a couple of questions was also very thin and beautiful.  In fact, no one in the office could have been over 130 lbs.  and they were all gorgeous.

Let me tell you, they looked at me, up and down, like I was a worthless piece of trash. I swear, their lips curled in disgust as they trailed their eyes over my visible rolls of fat (bc I can't help it! They show!) and even though I looked nice, clean, professional, and confident, all they saw was fat. 

They asked me questions like "do you take pride in your appearance?" "do you believe being healthy is important?" "do you exercise regularly?" Wtf, mostly the last one?? Why does that matter? I didn't apply to work at a gym! And then they thanked me for coming and said they'd call me.

They never even called so I called them and they told me they didn't think I fit in.  I didn't fit in with what? Their perfect, skinny appearance? Was my fat that disgusting? Am I that embarrassing?

Fat prejudice is for real and I felt it yesterday. I wish I could lose so much weight.

Terrible Binge

First I had the planned binge-- 25 snicker doodle cookies (pictured), two chocolate chip, one sugar, and one oatmeal raisin cookie with piles on piles of strawberry icing on each one. Then when that wasn't enough, I hit the unplanned stuff-- 12 dinner rolls heated up with butter smothered over and inside of them, club crackers with massive globs of butter, my roommate's mom's homemade banana and golden raisin nut bread, two loaves-- one with the rest of the strawberry icing and one just smothered in butter. I washed it down with two gallons of Edys ice cream (cheesecake and cake batter) and a bottle of wine.  

I'm guessing that's around 12,000 calories.

Why didn't I stop myself after two or three cookies? I was full after about five, so why not then? Why did I have to keep going and going and going? 

It was as if I wasn't in control of my actions. Like I was watching myself eat and eat and eat from the sidelines, yelling "no no no!" but still powerless to stop myself.  What is wrong with me???? What in gods name ins wrong with me.

Twelve years ago I was 90 lbs.

Ten years ago, I was 110 lbs and happier than ever living in a cool apt in manhattan.

Five years ago I was 125 and thought I was embarrassingly large.

Two years ago I was 140 and knew I was too big, even medically.

Today, I am 162.5 and approaching obesity fast.

Today I was I was 125 or 140, let alone 110 or 90! 

Today I hate myself more than ever and I etch it into my skin so that I can look the way I feel.

Today, I wish I was dead.

10 lbs To Required Inpatient, 15 lbs To Obesity

It seems like not so long ago, I was 10 pounds from a weight that would force me into inpatient treatment and tube feeding. That girl never would have imagined the fate that held her hand just a few years later.

I am now 15 pounds from being classified as open obese person.  I have never been this fat in all of my life. I am almost twice at fat as I needed to be to get tube fed.  I am a beast and a monster and I have no control. 

I veer from one extreme to the next, effortlessly.  I go from starving myself half to death to entering the world of obesity, two extremes, two very different worlds owned by the same demon- E.D.

The girl who was once ten pounds from tube feeding would laugh at this girl. Laugh at her lack of control, her fat body, her lost mind, her weakness. That girl never would have thought, not ever, that this would happen. She would have died before this happened.

Now, she just wants to die.  She wants to stop eating but she can't, ever, even when she tries so hard.  If she can't stop eating, she wants to start puking, but she can't seem to do that right either.  The girl who would rather die than be fat is beyond fat, almost obese now. And she doesn't know what to do to feel ok again.

I hate myself so much. I wish I could die.

And I Can't Stop.

I can't stop eating. What the fuck is wrong with me?? I literally cannot stop stuffing my face with shitfood. Donuts, cake, cookies, potato chips, buttered bread, butter by itself (I know! Like, wtf???), frozen desserts that I don't even unfreeze before I eat them, crackers with peanut butter, straight icing.... and anything else you can imagine! I CANT STOP!!! I don't know what to do because it's like I'm not even in control!

I have put on almost 20 pounds in the last two weeks, that is how much I am eating. I am to exaggerating AT ALL. I legit stood on the scale today and looked in my weight journal for the last time I weighed-- two weeks ago, and up nearly 20 pounds! Is that even possible????  What the fuck??? 

And, to add to this, why can't i puke anymore? Like, why won't I even try to?? It's like I've become someone I don't know anymore.... Someone weak and stupid and FAT. I can't deal. I hate this person.

I won't exercise either! I used to run seven miles a day! And now I'm too lazy to even walk a mile!  WHO IS THIS PERSON BC IT ISNT ME!!!!!!!  Am I dying? Am I admitting defeat? What the hell is going on with me? I need help....

I don't even know what help would look like. Would it be help getting treatment to get better? I have gone from one extreme (starving or puking) to another (stuffing my face all day) but one is no better than the other (at least I was thin when I was starving/puking). Would help be getting back to a life ever fasting? I can't seem to do it anymore no matter what I try or do.  Would help be puking again? At least then, all of hone shit I'm eating wouldn't stay inside of me. Would it be help dying or killing myself?

I don't know.

I just know I can't live like this anymore.

Living in This Body

It's hell. Pure hell. 

Where I used to have a stomach that caved in, I have a belly that hangs out.

Where I used to have protruding hip bones, I have nothing. Except fat.

Where I used to have ribs, front and back, I have extra skin and back fat.

Where I used to have thighs thinner than my knees, I now have basketballs.

Where I used to have arms thinner than my elbows, I have wingdings and dangly things.

Where I used to have collar bones and chest bones, I now have padding and fat cells.

I am 150 lbs.  I have never been this big EVER.  I can't stop eating.  I can't stop.

I don't want to live if it has to be in this body.  It's disgusting.

Hell.

New Me, New Blog.

First, for previous blog posts and to learn about my past struggles with depression, eating disorders, and mental illness, go here: http://porcelain-truth.livejournal.com. I used to be on LJ when everyone else was, but I think it's been like a decade since anyone has used LJ. I guess its time to update my life and my blog.

Second, the past doesn't always stay in the past. I'm still struggling with all of those things. It's different now than it was then, because mental illness is always morphing and changing. I'll summarize my story and why I'm here.

My name is Jackie and I'm about to be 28. Ive lived everywhere from England to NYC to PA to Minnesota to NJ to VA and whatever.  I was for sure the happiest I have ever been when I was living in NYC for college.  I was skinny, I was running everyday, I was living in this swank apartment in midtown, I was working at a restaurant for extra money, I was outgoing and had lots of friends and a family who still spoke to me.  My life has changed a LOT since then.  I've lied cheated, manipulated, and hurt the people closest to me over the past ten years and most of them have turned away from me. I'm kind of alone now. I'm fat, lonely, not outgoing, sad a lot, depressed, etc.  I'm not in love with my life like I was in 2005.  I'm not disclosing where I live currently, but let's just say its a place where I should be happy because it has a lot of similarities to NYC. I'm so not happy.

I'll talk a little about my past. I've had multiple eating disorders from the age of 11. I started as anorexic, but then I started binge eating and gained weight, so I started throwing up and became bulimic.  I was a mix of anorexic and bulimic for most of my life.  I went away to college in the middle of all of this bullshit and it got worse.  I went to treatment when I was 15, 17, 20, and 26.  I was diagnosed with depression when I was 18. 

I'm on medication for it, but it makes me foggy and fat, so sometimes I don't stay on it. Obviously, that's a problem, but for someone who has been struggling with bad body image for 17 years, gaining weight up to a weight higher than average (I'm currently overweight) is terrible and very scary.  

Oh, the other problem is that I binge eat. Like, a lot. And I don't puke anymore so it's just all leading to huge amounts of weight gain. So, add that to the list of my eating disorders. 

I've weighed everything from 80 lbs to 160 lbs and I am 5'4" tall (apparently, my eating disorder caused brittle bones and that made me shrink a whole fucking inch bc I used to be 5'5" fml).  My life is a wreck and I want out. I've attempted suicide a few times, but obviously I wasn't successful. I'm trying to get past that and believe that my life can be good again.  I just need to get skinnier and find cool people to be around, a cool job that I like, and a cool apartment in the city to live in.

I pretty much still want to kill myself every day.

Anyways, this is my life. Welcome to it.  Please follow me! I will follow back!
