Anorexia Nervosa

I don’t like my body shape.
I am morbidly obese.
My face is moon-like shaped.
My chin feels heavy.
It hangs beneath my jaw.

My breasts are like mountain big.
They are heavy. They pull down my shoulders.
They cause me to hurt

I feel a wave of fatty folds on my belly.
They cover my groin area.
There is a lot of wetness in between these folds.
Wetness irrtates my skin.

My thighs are coarse and big.
There is no space in between them.
This is how I see self.

My friends see me the opposite.
They are concerned about me being emaciated.
My family is concerned about me.
They see me starving self to death.
I feel very energetic, despite my heavy weight.
I need to lose more weight.
I will burn more calories.
I Will exercise 4 hours a day.

My doctor is concerned.
He urges me to get an immediate care.
Do I need care?
I still perceive self being obese.
I hate obesity. It makes me feel ugly.
I wish I were slim.
Why everybody is concerned about me!
I am healthy. I just see self obese.
It makes me feel depressed.
Food is disgusting.
It caused me to gain weight.
That is why I am fighting this battle.
I wihed I looked like a supermodel.
Have you ever seen an obese supermodel?
