*TW*: Mention of eating disorder and low self image
The water runs as they get undressed
each piece of cloth gliding off easily except for the jeans
They ease out of the jeans while going to look in the mirror
Small, dark marks are appearing on their skin
"I haven't been eating that much have I?", they ask themself while trying to find more
In that moment they became extremely aware of how they looked
The width of their "manly" shoulders
How their stomach sticks out in every outfit
Water being wasted by the second, they stand in front of the mirror finding ways to stand that make them appear "thin"
A tear runs down their cheek as they realize that this is the body they will be stuck with their whole life
After that day they always checked up on their "flaws"
It seems as the longer they don't eat the minutes go by slower
Drinking zero calorie flavored water and sugar-free gum becomes a routine
Now they're shivering all the time and their jaw hurts fromt constant chewing
is this what it takes to be pretty in society's eyes?
