Dont force yourself to do something. If you feel under pressure you'll be tend to give up and it does nothing but harder to focus on your goal. Do it because you wanna reach your goals and to feel like a self-disciplined person.
and then, when it really hit me that i'm hungry, it hit me. You know. The Palestinian people can't just stop fasting and eat. I have the luxury to fast just to lose weight. They fast because there is nothing to eat. They are hungry. You you know what is like to be hungry, and your limit, and don't have anything to eat?
Help for people in Palestine. Pray for people in Palestine.
ps: I always was for Palestine. It just hit me when I was fasting ''freely'', and feeling so hungry, that other people are feeling the hunger because there is nothing to eat.. and I feel bad for living and eating how I do while Palestinians struggle like they do.
pps: I am keeping these tags because they are part of the context and story..
My mom is already knowing that I’ve been skipping my lunches at school- this morning when she woke up she asked if I already made my lunch. My stupid self said “no, in a bit”. If only I’ve said yes- sjsjjsjeneej :(
Just now she was like “M/n.. did you make your lunch?” In like that semi angry mom voice that isn’t raspy or really dangerously sounding at all, but still terrifying. I was like “ye-s uh-uhmmmmm a-h-“ like studdering and not knowing what to say. Cause if I did say I made it, maybe she would ask me to show it to her.
My excuse (which somehow passed, but I’m definitely suspected now) was “I just didn’t really feel like making it” and then she said “So you packed away everything I had set up to troll me?” And I was like “No, it’s cause I was doing it, but gave up”
Afterwards she gave me a lecture on people not eating, fainting “with a sensation of death”, and then another one about people not eating and then dropping weight and becoming so sk1nny that their stomach won’t allow more food, she basically called us “Those an0r3xic fr3aks”
and like technically I have been bringing lunch to school, but only an apple cause it’s either a bit over 100 cals or under.
My mom will definitely now start making me show my lunch before I go to school :(
All I get talked to anymore about is how bad I am at eating
My dad says I should eat more, and if I don't eat more, than I shouldn't eat cake or sweets
I should take vitamins
My immune system is down
Anytime I do eat, I just eat the same thing
I can't live on potato salad, and I can't live on fruit
I can't live on eating a spoonful a day, or even nothing
And yet he might wonder why I'm like this, but everyday before he realised I have an eating problem and pointed it out,
He called me fat, he told me I should be put on a diet, he even put me on a diet before, he told me I was going to turn out to be a diabetic, he shamed me
Everyday
So much I just hated it
And then others did the same, it was like it all followed and then I was throwing up and I couldn't stop doing this to myself
