bitter sweet taste

my dear friend, named ana.

oh my friend, ana, what sould i do?
i need to lose weight, but i'm starving. what should i do?

oh my dear, you're not hungry, you're just bored.
how about you paint your nails. try that baby blue color, or maybe a shade of pink.
make yourself beautiful, my dear.

my nails are a shade of blue now, but i'm still hungry.
should i eat those freshly baled cookies grandmother made or should i eat a piece of fruit?
my dear friend ana, what should i do?

nuh-uh, skinny girls don't eat that. how about you eat an apple. no, half an apple.
i'm sure you'll feel better.
but remember, twenty chews per bite. drink water after every few bites.
don't eat too much.

my dear friend ana, i'm finished eating.
i feel a little better, but i'm still a little hungry.
what do i do? i can't eat anything else i'll eat too much.
therefore, i'll get fat and all of this would be a waste.

my dear, you have gum, don't you?
chew it for about fifteen-twenty minutes, it will satisfy your hunger.
drink plenty of water, you won't gain weight.
you can be skinny, you can do it.

alright, dearest ana.
i'm quite tired, i can't stand up.
i'm shakey and weak.
i think it's time to go to sleep.

my dear, it's only two in the afternoon.
but i guess a nap would do.
go to sleep, dear.
i hope you dream good dreams.
stay skinny. i will get you skinny.
even if you die trying.
