Day one.
Mum told me to start a little diary or journal so I can improve my mental health. This is supposed to help with my self esteem and what not. Honestly it feels stupid only girls or loners write diaries.
But I mean... Any thing to make mummy happy.
Don't like the dark much so gotta make her happy. Don't need a case of the Tummy Rumbles.

Day four
It's helping a bit writing I think. I mean I tore out the last few pages because they felt stupid. But honestly I think I'm just afraid.
Afraid that if I put it on paper it'll be true. I said diaries were for girls and.... Well losers.
So if I write one then. Well I mean.
Damn maybe I am a loser.

Day 10
I tried dieting lately, well I say dieting but honestly I just started skipping breakfast. I look in the mirror and see a big ball of lard. I'm tired of seeing a big ball of lard.
There's...more I think under all this fat.
I know it.
I think mum knows it too.
Maybe she'll love me more when I'm skinny.
This time I control the tummy Rumbles.

Day 27
The rumbles
They're getting better.
They're getting worse.
I eat once very three days.
I can feel it.
I can see it.
I think.
My body can handle it.
I know it trust in my body.
We'll be pretty.
Mum always wanted a pretty child.
Fat boys can't be pretty children.
Ugly is all we're meant to be.
How many fat pretty boys do you know?
None.
None at all.
They don't exist.
So this I'm fading.
I don't want to exist.

Day 68

Skinny
I wish I was skinny.
Mum why can't I be skinny like everyone else?
Is it the food we eat?
Is it the way we're born?
Do I not exercise enough?
I want to be pretty.
Mum why can't I be pretty?
Why am I stuck as me?
This god forsaken flabby thing.
I feel the tears run. They run. And run. And run.
Oh god I'm crying.
Will that make my skinny?
Will crying help?
I feel so exhausted.
Why won't it go away.
Why
WHy
WHY!!!!
I look and look
And look
And look look look.
Always starring at imperfection.
Staring back at me.
Wishing it could be.
So very skinny.
So very pretty.
For me.
For mummy.
Please don't leave.

Day 82
It hurts mum.
It hurts so much.
I feel so numb.
But my tummy keeps eating.
It's eating me mum.
I can feel my bones.
I think I'm skinny enough mummy.
Please I let me out mum.
Please I need.
I need the rumbles to stop.
It's been 5 days since I last ate.
It's so dark, and dirty and smelly down here.
I'll be a good boy.

Day 98
Mummy left.
The pages...
I ate the pages I didn't like.
It's so dark.
I'm so hungry.
But I'm pretty.
I'm skinny mummy.
So why'd you leave?
Why'd you say...
Your baby boy was ugly?
Will I always be a monster?
Can monsters go to the clouds when they die?
I just want...
I want...
I want you to love me.
Even when I'm not pretty.
Good bye mama.
I'll see you later.
