The scary thing is, 'nothing tastes as good as thin feels', as the fridge magnet goes. There's a terrifying buzz one gets from being really hungry, and learning to control that hunger. Its the closest I've ever been to being the master of my own domain, and I am sad to say that I've also had my brushes with eating disorders. Never bulimia (ugh) but getting hooked on being thin. The compliments, the admiration, the control and the way clothes just look better...<br /><br />The relationship is complicated, and always a reflection of everything else that goes on under the surface. Today, I changed my pants because my hips looked too wide. I am wearing my Thai fat pants. I have no rational reason to do this, other than the fact that I am so obsessed with looking good and being the best that having any kind of shape seems to undercut that. <br /><br />This is the kind of ridiculous stupidity my brain tosses up at me every day, and its something nearly every woman struggles with every day. Some men as well.<br /><br />I love you for speaking out what so many of us feel, every day. Keep on writing, beautiful Clea...your voice is getting clearer and stronger with each post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
