Relapse, relax.

I'm back.

145 pounds to date.

Healthy eating, just isn't cutting it for me.

I can't do it anymore.
So, I'm relapsing.

Most of you didn't even know I tried the whole recovery "trick".
Yes, in my eyes, it's a trick and it sets you up to fail.
It's been a year.
I've moved, started a new life, and now I'm finally free to embrace my obsession, my illness, my disease, my savior.

Violent Delights.

The anchor clanks
Your heart sank
Your body locks
The weight that you hail
Leaves cracks in the wall
You're safe
You're scared.

Starving never felt as easy as it does now, my stomach remains empty, my lungs are full of smoke.
I stumble through the halls at night, clinging to the plaster, trying to keep conscious as the dizziness engulfs me.
I smoke the hunger away, plumes of white that rise with my breath as I exhale. I exhale the good, inhale the bad.
The day brings sleep and the night I wake, dreamless, sleepless and leaden eyed.
Something inside of me breaks away, chips off my soul like dried paint.
A small voice whispers in my ear, seductively sweet, dangerously persuasive. "Starve on, starve on."
The ceaseless need to shrink away, to cave inward and escape my own skin.
Let the bones devour me, let them stand out sharply in protest again my very existence.
Let them see the pain I hold within, let them see the fragility of my sins.
I exist to desire the things that will destroy me in the end.
I exist to desire the things that will destroy me in the end.

Fast Day 2.

I weighed myself this morning and was relieved to see I'm finally back to my 'safe' weight.
57 kilos. It's still A LOT but it's the weight I usually have to maintain when I'm under my parent's suspicion. Luckily, I'm living with my father at the moment and he doesn't even notice my presence. I hardly ever see him, he works late then comes home and sleeps.
I say a couple of words to him in the morning sometimes, other than that I can go days without seeing him. It's bliss.

I hate how my weight fluctuates, it seems like for the past month I've been losing and gain the same couple of pounds, hopefully that's going to change.

Last night was rough, I got the sudden urge to text my ex and wish her well...I tried to talk myself out of it and succeeded for a few hours only to break down much later and send it.
It turned out better and worse than I thought if that makes any sense, her replies broke my heart and made me realize that despite my thoughts she still cared and she did what she had to because she was hurting...that being friends after having shared something so remarkable was too hard for either of us to handle and simply made us bitter towards one another.
We both want each other in our lives but I suppose it's just not time...
Until then, I'll wait...I still love her as if it never ended and I know she still loves me but not with the same intensity as before, that kills me but I had suspected it this whole time so I wasn't taken by surprise.

I was shaking so hard waiting for her replies, and broke down almost immediately after reading them...
Smoked myself sick and laid on the bathroom floor for a while, the cold tile soothing my feverish skin. I cried for a few hours until I felt my heart switch to autopilot, until the numbness kicked in.

I'm exhausted today, I broke down into so many little pieces last night...I'm too tired to even attempt to put myself back together.
You have to do what you can with the fractured pieces of yourself...

Hit cruise control and rub my eyes.

My days feel so long and the nights are nearly unbearable.
I ache from the inside out, fuel for my hunger.
I'm losing myself again and I don't mind much.


Liquid Fast Day 1 take 2.


Here I am again, a mess and a failure.
I fucked up yesterday and binged on french fries, who the fuck binges on french fries?
I disgust myself.

I started over today, so far I've only had iced green tea and cigarettes. So, I think I've got a hand on it. We'll see.

I woke this morning from a dream in which I held my ex girlfriend again, her dark hair fell messily around her face and she gazed at me lovingly.
I ached, my chest tightened even in my sleep I was shaken with grief.
Why does love have to destroy us so? Why must I dream of her every night when chances are I probably never cross her mind.
Dear god, I miss her so much these days I don't know what to do with myself.
Even now, after 5 months, I break apart just thinking of her.

I'm so messed up. I'm so fucking broken.

I just want to crawl out of my body for a while. I'm too heavy, I need to be weightless...I need to escape...

End Of Fast.

The other day I had to end my fast, it was very disappointing since I was only 6 days in.
There was no way around it, my father had insisted on taking us all out for dinner, I tried everything I could to get out of it and even while we were there he watched me like a hawk.
However, even though my liquid fast for HFC ended I can still pick up where I left off on my own and just join next month's fast when it rolls around.

I did a little detox yesterday, just to get that empty clean feeling back. Laxatives are not my proudest option but even though you've most likely already absorbed the calories of your last meal, it still helps to get the food out. Considering I have no gag reflex and almost always fail at purging these days, it was my only option.

This morning I started my liquid fast with a fresh fruit smoothie, I split it in two glasses and drank one in the morning, I'm saving the other for dinner.
It's a bit high in the calorie area but the first day always is, that way it's easier to slowly taper off.


Fresh Fruit Smoothie:

1 cup no fat yogurt: 80
1 cup frozen strawberries: 50
sweet n' low: 4
1 cup fresh oj: 112
1 (5") banana: 72

Total: 318 cals.

So, 159 calories now and 159 calories later.
