"Why can't I be good enough. I'm trying my best to be something I'm not. I try to stop eating, so I make myself throw up, but then I keep eating like a pig. I can't even look myself in the mirror because all I see is a fat girl who nobody likes. Then there's days I don't eat. I don't eat anymore. And then the next day I eat and eat. I can't believe I let myself get this fat. I wanna be a skinny girl. I wanna be a short girl, too. I want to be held by someone who is at least two inches taller. I wanna feel the warmth of their hands on my waist and my arms around their neck, but there's nobody. I won't ever be skinny. And I will always be the person giving hugs but never receiving them. I wanna live out my dream of dancing with someone and having their arms around my waist. But my body isn't small. I'm not normal. I don't look like a female. I look chubby. I wanna be different."
