If you woke up tomorrow morning...

[ohmyclapton]

Say you magically woke up tomorrow morning at your goal weight, no matter if you're 5 or 40 lbs away from it.
Do you think you'd consider stopping and that rational ed-free part of our brains will start to surface?
Or would you still not see yourself as satisfied and just make another lower goal?

That's when reality and fear hits me the hardest, when I'm at a goal weight and my reflection hasn't changed AT ALL. Sometimes I feel like I look even bigger than before and I question everything. But at that point is usually when I go too far and I need to visit a clinic, then the whole cycle starts over.

Your thoughts?

I think about that all the time. I have dreams where I wake up and I'm 85lbs... it would be amazing but I always think. even if i was at my UGW..I think I still might think I could do better. I'll try and try to do more. it's so unsatisfying

well, im trying to skip days [wn fasting] by sleeping as i can.
If i woke up 1 day in my GW, ill check my size, if its the look n reasults iv been praying for.
But then maybe ill want to lose just a bit more , just in case-so il never gain again.

I did get down to my GW which was 6stone 6lbs - 90lbs (At that time I was diagnosed with an ED by my doctor) ~ Of course I was not happy, I still felt fat and ugly.
I tried to lose more weight but for some reason I stayed at that weight for sometime about 6 months then after my gym got concerned about my weight and figure, they had said that I had no shape and was just straight up and down, I started to pig out and I gained weight I went back up to 7stone 4lbs, but everyone had said that I was looking better.
So I decided to try to recover.....
I am now 7stones 10lbs ~ 108lbs and I am so unhappy about my weight and now I am back to fasting and restricting..... Ana never leaves me, no matter what size I am, I am never happy with my body, it's been a constant battle since I was 9 years old.

same here, my goal a few weeks back was 96lb, now its 92lb, when i get there it will prob change again. For years iv worked sooo hard to achieved my goals, but somehow it never sticks, im never happy with what i get. The number means nothing in the end its how i see myself that matters and when I'm finally happy with what i see, then i will maintain it at all costs.

Same here. If I woke up tomorrow morning and was suddenly 115 I would be super happy. But something tells me I'd stare at myself in the mirror and see other flaws. I'll never be thin enough and my goal will just change to a lower number.

i would be so so happy because ive felt this before, i would put on my yellow skinnies and heels just for the extra length, and show myself off. but i would want to lose more weight so if i was to slip up i would have room to do it xx

U r never at your goal weight with this fucked up disorder!

[sarah-charlotte]

Thanks princess but i did know that! lol

lol that is so true. I will never reach my goal weight ever! i'm too obsessed with eating (or not eating as the case may be).

it's like asking someone with OCD if someone told them there hands were germ free would they stop washing them? probably not.

it's not just being thin(ner) for me it's something else too. It kind of feels like it's control but it's not. it's like being in control of being out of control!?

My whole life has always been out of control and I couldn't control it but now i can. I know what i mean lol.

So in answer to the original question; no I wouldn't be happy i'd just set myself another goal because I can't just start eating. The whole idea of eating 3 square meals a day and the odd snack in between like other normal people do, petrifies me.

I've tried and I can't even handle eating normally for a day.
