i’ve gained 30 lbs from binging.
i see a lot of those “this is what it feels like to lose weight” posts. but this is what it feels like to GAIN weight.
- i have more rolls when i sit down that weren’t there before
- my shirts literally get stuck in my fat rolls
- i can see my muffintop bulging under my skirts or pants
- my cheeks look swollen in comparison to how chiseled they used to look
- none of my old clothes fit
- my rings are too small for my fingers now
- nobody tells me “you’re so skinny” anymore
- everyone says “you don’t look like you gained weight!” when i ask, but the looks on their faces and tone of their voice makes it clear they’re lying
- my thighs touch uncomfortably when i stand
- i can’t bear looking in the mirror anymore
- i can’t see my hipbones or ribs anymore
- i feel like shit literally all the time, i didn’t think it was possible to be more self conscious of my body
- i didn’t realize how skinny i was until i gained this much weight.
think about this the next time you want to binge.
