America isn’t Fat…We Are Starving!

I am starving.  Seriously, starving.   Disordered Eating is just the result of my starvation.  How is that for a paradox!  And its all the time.  So often I feel like a nut job.  I probably sound like one too.  But then I pay attention to what is going on all around me and everyone is starving.  Everyone seems to be hungry.  Even the most stable of people.  And it’s just getting worse.  We now have Facebook, blogs, twitter, and iPhones, when email was bad enough!  Nothing tangible in the mail anymore, more people wanting to work from home, we order in, we have drive thru’s, Netflix, why will we ever leave the home?  We can just stay inside isolated from real communication that we are Hungry for!!!  It’s so dumb.  I am about to delete all social media accounts…they make you feel like you are apart of your friends lives…but its not the same. 

I got to thinking and it would appear that most everyone I know has some degree of disordered eating.  And the media is absurd!  Can we just talk about the Show Ugly Betty for crying out loud!  The show has some good morals…but come on!  Then of course there are the models that weigh, who knows, 90 pounds dripping wet?!  We are all aware of that…but what about the “Health” Magazines that show one body type, thin and toned.  It’s good to have a little muscle…but not everyone is going to be a size two. 

I don’t even know what normal is anymore.  In my disturbed mind there is either fat or thin.  No in-between.  And I find that way of thinking bleeding into the rest of my views on life in general.  It’s all black and white for me.  You are nice or mean.  Fun or boring.  Pretty or ugly.  Rich or poor.  There is no average, middle ground or grey areas.  Is it like that for everyone.  If you are really honest with yourself?  I would like to say that I think there is a middle area…but if I am really honest I would have to say I don’t see it…I do not see grey.  (heres where I hope counseling can save me yet again!)

Sorry to ramble…but these are my thoughts tonight!
