What is wrong with me? Why does something as meaningless as weight matter so much?

Question by Cosmic Dancer: What is wrong with me? Why does something as meaningless as weight matter so much?
I’m 5’11“ and weigh 127 lbs. I just ate a turkey sandwich (two pieces of low calorie bread, one piece of turkey sandwich meat…so, 90 calories all together) and feel incredibly guilty even though it’s all I’ve had to eat in two days. Why am I like this? It’s just that I have this need to be perfect in every way. But stuff like how much food I eat really shouldn’t matter, especially since I have much more important things to worry about (the death of my alcoholic father and taking care of my drug addict mother for one thing).

I really want another sandwich, but if I have one I know I’ll feel even worse about myself…

And please don’t just say “get help”…that does nothing to help me right now and plus, I can’t afford it.

Sister, I feel for you. You don’t need help……. But you do need self confidence and Jesus. Nothing makes you feel better than that. It works for me…… Oh for the record……… I’m only giving suggestions, not forcing anything upon you, okay?
