What You Eat In Private, You Wear In Public

THE GREASY FRY, IT CANNOT LIE. THE TRUTH IS WRITTEN ON YOUR THIGH.

EVERYBODY IS ALWAYS SO FUCKING “FINE,” BUT WE ARE NOT. SOMETIMES, WE ARE HURT AND BRUISED AND NEARLY COMPLETELY SHATTERED AND THIS, SIR, IS NOT WHAT WE CALL FINE.

You will not stop. The pain is necessary, especially the pain of hunger. It reassures you that you are strong, can withstand anything, that you are not a slave to your body, you don’t have to give in to its whining.

When she’s exhausted she cannot sleep;When she’s hungry I don’t let her eat;When I’m finished and set her free;She’ll be perfect just like me.

STARVE MY PAIN AWAY, MAKE ME BEAUTIFUL, MAKE EVERYTHING OKAY, TURN MY PROBLEMS INTO BONE, CRUSH THEM UP, GATHER THE REMAINS, BLOW AWAY THE DUST.

LET ME BE EMPTY AND WEIGHTLESS AND MAYBE I’LL FIND SOME PEACE TONIGHT.

YOU WILL COME TO REALIZE THAT WHAT APPEARS TODAY TO BE A SACRIFICE WILL PROVE INSTEAD TO BE THE GREATEST INVESTMENT YOU EVER MADE.

THIS IS FOREVER. I WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES.

FRIDGE PICKERS WEAR BIG KNICKERS.

I WANT TO FEEL WEIGHTLESS AND THAT SHOULD BE ENOUGH.

I WANT COLLAR BONES THAT CAN CATCH RAIN.

EVERY TIME YOU SAY “NO, THANK YOU” YOU SAY, “YES PLEASE” TO THIN.

I eat too much to die
and not enough to stay alive.
I’m sitting in the middle
Waiting.

EVERYTHING DEPENDS UPON THE RIGHT ACTION OF THE WILL.

FOOD IS THE DRUG WE ALL MUST QUIT.

ONE DAY I WILL BE THIN ENOUGH. JUST THE BONES, NO DISFIGURING FLESH. JUST THE PURE, CLEAR SHAPE OF ME. BONES. THAT IS, AFTER ALL, WHAT WE’RE MADE UP OF, AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS JUST STORAGE, DEPOSIT, AND WASTE. STRIP IS AWAY, USE IT UP. NO DEPOSIT, NO RETURN.

Hunger hurts, but starving works,
When it costs too much to love
And I went crazy again today,
Looking for a strand to climb
Looking for a little hope.

DON’T DO ANYTHING TODAY THAT YOU’LL REGRET TOMORROW.

A problem? Yes, eating is definitely a problem. Got to stop eating.

ONLY YOU CAN CHANGE YOURSELF FOR GOOD. ONLY YOU CAN DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT. AND ONLY YOU CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN.
