Should I stop worrying about my self-concept + body image?


Sometimes I wonder if I ‘worry 2 much’
about ’shit that doesn’t matter’
like ‘the way I look’
and ‘how other ppl perceive me.’

Kinda just want to listen 2 Daft Punk
and ‘gain a shit load of weight’
by eating ‘bad ass foods’ that
‘taste awesome’ but are ‘probably killing me.’

I wish that there was some sort of ‘plus size’ solution
to look fashionable
and ’seem hip’ and ‘in the know’
But I think that part of ‘being fit’
means that ‘u care about being alive.’
wonder if Am Appy will come out with a ‘plus size’ line in 2k34
when their core market ‘gets all old and fat’

Just want to ‘be myself’
and like ‘chill’ and ‘go to Chili’s’ and ‘eat McDonalds breakfast’
and ‘go out to binge eat Mexican food’
and ‘eat lasagna’ like the popular cat Garfield

but ‘who will love me’ for ‘who I am’
It would take a strong person
to want to ‘cum on’/'cum with’
some1 who is ‘larger than life.’

Worried that my heart will stop
or something like that

R u happie with the way u look?
do u end up looking in the mirror for extended periods of time
thinking about the person u will be after u ‘get in shape’?
Did u ‘lose a lot of weight’/'gain a lot of weight’ recently? Why?

Hope u r okay.
want u 2 b happie with who u r
Best,
Carles

    i sometimes think about this too carles. recently more than ever. i feel kinda like, even though i look skinny, and no one can tell unless im naked, i got a decent gut goin. i feel kinda guilty about liking only skinny alt broads and feel kinda like i need to be skinny and in shape too. but its so hard to stop eating food.
    :(

    could be ur ‘built environment’ that is/is not/could be making u ‘fat’ (via exposure 2 vinyls)… Entrylvl epidemiolgie, tho. Maybe u can volunteer @ an urban sustainable farm to rlly reevaluate ‘where our food comes from’ and ‘get ur hands dirty’ while wearing kute overalls. Might have 2 start listening 2 more bands who ‘write meaningful hooks’ and ‘have a lowkey personal brand’ (via Harlem shakes) instead of electro.

    seems like she gets happier, shes got bedonkadonk and acts more slutty and seems to ‘find herself’ thru selfportraiture. in the end she has a new bf/partner/soulm8/fuckbud and gets to shop @ torrid for goth/alt clothes, dunno bout the tigerstripes tho, kinda makes her unique.

    yeah bodies come in all shapes and sizes but this shits disgusting. gainers / feeders / whatever the fuck wikipedia defines this phenomena as are fucking appalling. this goes far beyond inverse eating disorders, WHAT A WASTE OF RESOURCES. only in a post industrial fucking gluttonous first world society can this be a reality. people can learn to fetishize anything once they become alienated from what naturally exists. HUMANS DONT NEED TO CONSUME THAT MUCH SHIT. what the fuck

    Kinda ashamed 2 admit: nothing gets me off like that shiz. I don’t disagree w/ any statements yall make, and I myself am a somewhat-underweight skinny-jeans-wearing fixie-riding alt-girl, not to mention I’m str8 and luv 2 fuck my ‘male social peers’… but when I’m all alone that’s what I wanna see–chubby white girls who are overfed by their partners. Dunno why. I don’t think I’m ‘alienated from what is natural’ and I don’t think it was ‘learned,’ or at least not consciously. I’ve always had that fantasy, though I’d NEVER let ne1 know. I can just go on the internetz and see othr ppl who are willing to commit to that ‘fetish lifestyle.’

    If you are worried about your self image Carles, just update your MySpace/Facebook/Friendster bragging on your blog about some new band you’re not really in, say it sounds really similar to AnCo/Interpol/Death Cab. Sports some eyeliner and take random pics with your bandbros & it will no longer matter if you stuff your face with taco bell/chillis/powdered doughnuts. Fat bros need love too yall.

    shit, it’s true. there isn’t one. i try, but i just look ridiculous. i excersize constantly, but the weight just stays.

    wish there was some ‘thin god’ that i could make a sacrifice to and just shed the lbs.
