I cut myself after not doing so for so long... tonight I looked at myself and for the first time and just saw an ugly person.. and not in shape.. the gut and the everything.. I'm so tired of living like this.. all I see is a girl who will always be trapped.. my mood isn't terrible it's overwhelming with emotions.. I feel utterly alone right now and don't see any choices but pain..

So is ugliness morally wrong is it? Deserving of punishment? Spare fat on your body a crime?

My daughter was tubby and the starved vegan kid down the road who was made to eat grated carrot sandwiches wouldn't play with her because of it. My daughter felt bad. I said don't worry, that vegan kid is just a superficial hate-filled wee snoot because she can't get any calories to her brain. We had a good lol. I told her next time some kid called her fat to just say 'and you're just a bitch cos you're hangry.' :D

You've got to let go of this silly values system. Guys don't care if you're plump. (although you don't even look plump in yoru photo. Is that an old photo?) More cushion for the pushin as they say. More bounce on the bouncy trampoline. So who even cares? Only those hangry bitches. Give 'em a cookie and tell 'em to shut up.

Hugs to you! I know, it is hard to be feeling so lowly about yourself and alone. I've been there too. I want to tell you there is hope. You are a beautiful person. I am one person out of many other people who can say, I have had those same feeling of ugliness, I have went through depression, I have thought about doing destructive things to myself. I have spent many years feeling alone too. Even when I had been surrounded by people who really did love me. Know one seemed to understand what I was going through. So I shut them out of my life. (Wrong thing to do!) Communication is the key to do finding the way out of this horrible darkness. We as people are not meant to be alone. We are not meant to face trials and storms alone. I am living proof here to tell you there is hope, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. You have to be willing to take the first step towards recovery. I had to get down on my knees and cry out to God for help. Because I did not know where to turn to. I cried and cried, crying is the first step to healing. Let God lead you, let Him give you a sense of peace. Let His wisdom guide you. Here is what I cried out to Him;
Father,God,
Help Me!! I do not know where to turn or what to do. (crying and sobbing) I asked Him to take care of me! "Amen!"
Then I fell asleep out of exhaustion. When I woke up I felt different, a little less stressed, a little more peaceful. My head felt a little more clear, like I could think more clearly. I still have my up and down moments, but when I do get down I go to the LORD and ask him for help! He has never let me down! "Psalms 46: 10 ....Be still and know that I am God."
