I know this is dumb but I can't stop. Somehow I feel like as long as I eat under x amount of calories everything will be ok. It's not even completely about how I look, I don't think I'll look good super thin but I'll be damned if I don't starve myself until I get there anyway. I need to be less. My anxiety is getting bad again and I don't know how to deal with it. Losing weight is like my little secret safe place. It's something to obsess over and feel accomplished when the scale goes down every morning even if everything else is going to hell. I know nothing will change when I'm thin and I don't really care, I just need to keep losing weight. My new job is pretty stressful for me, last year I could barely make phone calls or go to the grocery store and now I have a job in sales dealing with people all day. I'm proud of myself that I can do it but holy shit it's stressful. I'm more confident if I haven't eaten and I know I'm losing weight. It's one thing I can't fuck up. All I have to do is eat less. I don't even get hungry anymore and it's only been a few weeks. I can't let myself eat too much or else I'll start purging again and I really don't want to. That fucks me up more than not eating and I haven't done it for almost 6 months now. People are starting to catch on unfortunately, I've lost 10 lbs in less than 3 weeks (25 lbs in all, ~20 more to go). They're trying to get me to eat more but being vegan already and saying I'm on a low carb diet gets me out of most meals. I'm making a point to eat higher calorie foods in front of people more and eat less when I'm alone to make up for it. Maybe that will keep them off my back for a while longer. If not then fuck it, no one can force me to stop. I can play off the "healthy diet" thing for at least 15 more lbs I think.
