lately iv noticed myself saying some weird things..like instead of thinking "im hungry" i think "my stomach needs food".. instead of saying "im cold" il say "my arms are cold" or "the rooms is cold".. its so weird.. or like instead of "im fat" its "my body has fat on it because i feed it too much".. i have so much trouble accepting the fact that my body is a part of me.. i look at it as a pet that i have to take care of or just keep alive basically.. i also cant stand being hugged touched or even looked at.. i cant bare someone looking at me:(.. its like im thinking "oh god theyre looking at IT" instead of "theyre looking at me".. i feel like im crazy.. anyone know why the f*** this is happening???:(

Can't tell you why, but I can tell you I completely relate. I think I made a journal entry a few days ago with some of these exact words. I still dont know how to fix it.

THE BODY BETRAYED by Kathryn Zerbe

It happens to me at times when I'm extremely underweight. Then my body has nothing to do with me. It's not part of me and it feels like my head is sitting on this foreign thing.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
