There she stood only feet away smiling. As I stood stomach cringing in pain and hunger. I didn't dare take a bit of anything called food. For if I did she would attack. Her eyes dark with out a single sign of life. Her beautiful figure. Bones showing flat stomach. Thigh gap. Color bones visible. Ribs showing. Arms long a skinny. Legs to die for. Not a single flaw could be seen.
I turned to the mirror to find the horrible reflection. No thigh gap no color bones. No ribs showing. Far everywhere. "Did you really think you where pretty," she says walking towards me. "Look at yourself." I look down at my fat stomach suddenly losing all thoughts of food. "Dot worry baby girl. ill help you get thin and beautiful just like me" the demon I once thought was standing feet away suddenly looks like an angel with beautiful colored skin and deep sea blue eyes. How could I of been such a fool. Mistaking such a beautiful person with a horrible demon.

I changed into my gym clothes which was a simple sports bra and shorts. I walked out to my car turned on the engine and headed to the gym. After an hour of working hard and burning calories.
