Good evening everyone :) Hope everyone has a good day!!
Today for dinner, my sister and her boyfriend came over. So there were 5 of us for dinner.
P had made a sea food lasagna.... *sigh* i really dont like lasagna... i dont like the taste of it, the different layers.. nope. But i cant complain either... i hate saying that i 'dont like food' it always feels like someone is going to think its sick thing... it feels like im not allowed to say i dont like certain foods :/
So i just ate the lasagna anyway....
and then for dessert i had made an apple pie, which i must admit was.... 5/5 :) hahaha... Ego, much? :)
But during dinner, there was so much food talk... and even after... it was just like 'food this.' ' food that' 'blah blah blah'. I got kind of angry... i was just thinking. Can't we just stop talking about food... about what we eat, different restaurants...
it felt like inside of me, something was stirring. This big angry bubble... i found it annoying that they were talking about food all the time. I almost felt a little sick... it was mainly because i was so full from dinner, and then it was just like food food food... - you know what i mean? Like when you're so full, and just the smell or sight of food makes you feel sick?
And then anyway, nobody listened to me... what i had to say. I tried talking, tried saying my opinion on topics or facts i knew or whatever... but everyone just talked over me... i didnt get a chance to say anything....
Its always been like that. Pretty much my whole life. Ive been the silent one because i havent got a chance to talk... nody ever asks me what my opinion is on things, if i have a say. And when i do talk, it feels like people dont listen.
Or they talk over me.
I remember in primary school, the first time i told one of the guys to 'shut up' because they werepicking on my best friend... and they all turned around, shocked because i had cursed... because i had spoken. I was the silent smart one....
Its always been like that... its more shocking that i do talk, then if i dont. Its normal if i just sit in the corner, or am by myself...
it feels like nobody notices me... i have no control.
I think thats part of me devoloping anorexia.. because i wanted control, in had no control. It was just to do what people said... i was scared to say anything... nobody listened.
Ive also changed the way i look, dyed my hair.. because ive wanted to be noticed... and because i have these 'spontaneous' moments... and because i get bored, and feel i just want to change everything.
But even now, when i dyed my hair brown... its because i want people to notice me... i dont want to fade into the background... i mean, im not asking for the spotlight... but it feels like im so easily forgotten,,
Ok... that went off topic? Basically... i ended up just leaving the table because i got so upset because i didnt get a chance to say anything, it didnt feel like i should sit at the table... there was no point. Nobody really noticed anyway.. didnt care that i left. :/
I really hate when people talk over me... because i barely do talk, and then when i do.. and someone talks over me... that just pisses me off...
Ok, this post took a complete twist and turn to what i actually had to say... which was 'food talk' how they were just sitting talking abotu food.... :/
Im just going to put on my pyjamas, curl up into bed and watch a film... its an early night for me. Im completly exhausted!! Ive got alot of work done today... relief!

Life without Anorexia
I am a generally happy girl who loves running, going to the gym and eating food!! Though my life has been very different.
I spent 5 years sick with anorexia nervosia & purging tendencies & over exercising. I was depressed and self harmed. I spent 2 years in different treatment centres.
After alot of struggles, lots of ups and downs, suicide attempts, tears, anxiety, panic and never thinking i would be healthy.
I am now declared healthy from anorexia nervosia.
I have been blogging for 4 years, and my whole journey is written in my posts. I now represent healthy and happiness. I want to show anyone struggling that it is possible to recover, no matter how hard it may seem.
I am happy and healthy and living my life. Going to school, meeting friends and trying to find myself in this world.
I write about my daily life, but also try to write posts about how it was when i was sick, advice and tips.
I am open and friendly, so dont be scared about writing a post or sending me an email at: [email protected]
Oh, the food talk! It happens whenever i visit my grandparents, i often join the discussion too, but they usually talk about meat or fish recipes and i don't want to interrupt them with my vegan stuff :)
ReplyDeleteHowever my relatives are quite hot-blooded so we always start to argument or even shout about something, since i am the youngest they don't listen much to me though. I don't mind that because i don't really care about their opinions anyway. I DO care for my moms opinion though and i'm blessed to have an understanding mom who is also open-minded and supportive.
I don't think that your mom doesn't care about what you have to say, maybe they were talking about the new restaurant in downtown, but you suddenly said something along "did ya know that Japan consists of 3900 islands? " You don't have to wait for an invitation to talk, just add comments about the topic and ask questions to others since everyone wants to be noticed not only you :)
Maybe tell your mom how you are feeling, no matter how stupid the problem is it feels better when you know the feelings of other persons involved.
