I realized that my sudden obsession with my weight is not only because I randomly lost some, but also because I've been so depressed and without any clear direction. The last time I was at the point where I wasn't eating this seriously was right after I got suspended from Central and I didn't know if I even wanted to back or what I wanted to do. I suppose this is one of those cliche things where I'm trying so hard to control my weight because I feel like it's the only thing in my life I really can control. Is that still the case once I realize it? Or is it one of those things where you can't
be crazy AND
know you're crazy? I don't know. Also, I'm incredibly lonely right now and this is something to concentrate on, I guess. I never thought that I would come home and be even lonelier then when I was in Georgia. I slept for about 12 hours today. I woke up at 5:30 in the evening and I wanted to go back to sleep. Not because I was tired, but just because I didn't want to be awake. I just wanted to keep dreaming, because it was so much better. So...have I not changed a bit since I left? Or have I changed immensely, but only when I'm out there? Or maybe who I am and the kind of person I am hasn't changed, but I've just learned more about who that person is? Maybe I'm past the point of changing. Maybe who I am know is who I'm going to be forever. Maybe I'm done. Probably not, but it sounded really whiny and annoying, didn't it? I wish it was Christmas time. I need to go do something, but I haven't decided what. I wish everyone I knew didn't have kids and boyfriends and other groups of friends. I just want something familiar, besides this feeling of melancholy. It's strange how there seems to be a particular brand of it at home. There were times when I was sad in Ellensburg, California, and Georgia, but they were all different from each other and from here. That seems somewhat bizarre to me that county lines should dictate the type of depression I feel. Whatever. I'm sad, but at least I'm going to be skinny. Which doesn't matter, but it always does. Doesn't it?
