My entire life I have searched high and low for something to
be wrong with me. I knew there had to be
something. I have spent a life time
creating that something wrong with me. I
am not 100% sure what that even means other than my whole life I wanted to an
excuse a reason for doing less than what was asked of me. Now, I have it. My weight is crippling my body. If I don’t do something about it, it will be
a matter of time before the body fails me.
I have destroyed my body. Some
sick sense of self-loathing combined with hate of the world. I am angry.
I have always been angry. I see
it in my writing. I see my humor. I see my anger everywhere. My food gets here tonight. I need my food. I need to get start working
towards a goal. I crave structure in the
chaos I have created in my everyday life.
I also have found salvation. It’s
in my writing. Good or bad, happy or
sad, X-rated, or G it matters little.
All that matters is I do it.
1,000 words last night, and I kept myself busy and distracted, and I created.
Tomorrow, I am going.
So now I sit her and take the long deep breath before the plunge. Tomorrow after a month and half of talking
about it I am going to meet with Kelly’s friend about OA. Well, because as a wise man once said “I am
just and addict.” I have to change. I have to.
I have been walking, a little bit each day. I have been talking a lot. However, it is time, to accept the hand I have
dealt myself. Was I always a food
addict? Maybe? Maybe not?
What I know is I ate, I ate out of some feeling of not being good
enough. Not being loved. Not being able to reign in the non-stop
thoughts that rattle around in my mind. In
the end it doesn’t matter why. All that
matters is I see it. I do see it. I see my addiction like my anger everywhere. I see it in the hiding of bags of fast food
in the neighbors trash can. I see it in
the eating alone and in shame. I feel
it. Oh god do I feel it in my back, in
my side, I feel it everywhere.
I am ashamed of what I have been. I am not ashamed though of who I am. I think that is important for some
reason. I know who I am. I know what I am. I know that there is so much more than the
addict. I see it in the conversation I have
with myself, and the fantasies I act out loud.
Yes, I act my fantasies out loud quit often, I think it
facilitates the creative process. Most
of the time it is alone and in my car.
Sometimes it is at home. It matters
little and less. What matters is I
accept all this as part of who I am. I
watch myself through the non-stop docu-drama I have become the star of in my
mind.
My mind. That is the
key and it always has been. My mind,
holds the key. I sometimes marvel at the
beautiful simplicity of my mind. The
primal urges to eat, drink, fuck, breath, so on and so forth. Then I also marvel at the layers up on layers
of it. Last night was a perfect example
of house fast my mind can shift from topic to topic. I was sitting at my desk writing a fictional
story risque, while at the same time have a chat on facebook, while I was
talking on the phone with a co-worker, and playing with the puppy. It shifts so fast. It is so fucking beautiful. So powerful.
So deep. So quick.
At this point I have no idea why I started
writing this, other than the need to post a blog. That I have a need to tell myself that I am
trying here and I want to get better, better than I am today. Wanting you the reader to know I am
trying. More importantly telling myself
and externalizing what I need to know.
That I am still on the path of the beam and I am still working on Jeans
in January 2015. That I am
