Extremes
I’m tired of my eating
Going from one extreme to the next
From days or weeks straight of
binge eating until it hurts to breathe
Forcing myself to throw it all up
Then days or weeks of restricting
Allowing myself to barley have anything
Because I’m too scared that if I
Eat actual food I’ll just go back down
And I’m right bc once I force myself
To actually eat again I can’t stop
And I eat and eat until I feel so sick
It’s such a terrible cycle
My body is in constant pain
I just think about food all day
How do I make this stop
I want to be in control of my own body
