TW: eating disorder, numbers, measurements, mention of suicidal ideation

[elialshadowpine]

I don't own a scale, either. My dad was obsessed and basically forced me to check my weight daily for a long time. (Dad has... major projection issues. Because he was concerned with his weight and checked daily, that meant I had to, too... no matter that I was healthy.)

I prefer to go by measurements. That, I find, is far more accurate than weighing. When I first went on birth control, I was limited to eating frozen waffles and yogurt smoothies -- those were the only thing I didn't throw up. I didn't actually lose any appreciable amount of weight. I stayed around 120-125 (and a fluctuation of about 5lbs during a day is normal for me), but my waistline went from 36" to 28" in 6wks. The scale did jack-all.

(And yes, I'm well aware that's NOT HEALTHY. I'd been told that people new to birth control could have that reaction, though, so I didn't even think to ask about trying something different. Weirdly, I went back on it later, after having MAJOR emotional issues with the other pills I had been scripted, and even if I was puking, I was at least not suicidal. It totally didn't have that effect the second time, even though I had been off birth control for 6mo or more by that point... so I don't even know. The sick thing is that I was actually disappointed... I am much more content and accepting of my body after finding the body acceptance movement, at quite a bit heavier a weight, than I was back when I was a "socially acceptable" weight...)
