How many pounds till I am happy?
How many pounds till I get thin?
Three more pounds till I am skinny
Three more pounds and I win!
I do eat normally - only what is needed for survival. I can't help that we live in a piggish society where gluttony is the norm and everyone else is constantly stuffing themselves.
"through prayer, fasting and meditation I will drop below 100 pounds, the dreaded three digits. I want to be 99 or nothing. want. did I say want? I shouldn't say want. I shouldn't say shouldn't. you're confused?... I'm trying to eliminate my ego but that action is ego itself. all action is ego. are you following me? I'm not here with my mirror and scale for the good of my health." - 'Tis by Frank McCourt
"I want a body with sharp edges" I say after a while, because she won't let me wriggle out of an answer.
"Sometimes I am hungry. I'm always hungry. But when I don't eat I feel good. Pure. I feel empty and it's wonderful. I feel so powerful. Like I could fly."
I feel bloated, huge, disgusting, ugly, a monstrous lumbering sow of a woman, a greedy revolting red-faced creature, and every bite, I feel myself swelling, I'm punished for breaking the first commandment, don't eat more than a small bird because it's unladylike and you'll get fat and no one will like you, but it's too late, I can feel the sharpness of my cheekbones sinking, swamped under spongy bulges of flesh, my thighs spreading like warm lard
and sticking together, so it's much safer not to eat.
What I wouldn't do to be Alice climbing through the looking glass, taking one of those pills that makes you small, so small. What I wouldn't do to be less
