We went for pizza and after a week of starving and losing a few pounds I was allowing myself a slice of pizza. My boyfriend ordered me 2 and I felt ridiculous with these two huge greasy things sitting in front of me. At one point the girl that was with us made a little bit of an annoyed comment "I wish I could eat two pieces of pizza and still be skinny like you" I wasn't sure if I wanted to cry or punch her. I had worked so hard to allow this to happen. And then I thought about it-"I can't eat 2 pieces of pizza and still be skinny" Because of her anger, I was triggered into a much larger cycle of starvation. I barely had 3 bites from the pizza.

I discovered your blog and I really like the topics you put out here. Anyway, I think the topic of size and weight infuriates those who have issues with self-esteem where weight is the proof of one's success, failure, good fortune... So in that sense, I don't think it makes otherwise "rational" people go nuts. I used to be overweight and I absolutely envied to the point of disgust other women who were thin. Now I have been anorexic for years and still believe that other people envy me, even though I have been told that I would look better if I gained weight. I also get comments at the gym about how thin I am. It makes me uncomfortable because I don't know how to respond. But inside, I love every minute of it. Me again.
