Sometimes when I wake up in the morning, I look in the mirror
and say, "Goddamn you're beautiful." I thought everyone else
felt that way about themselves, but no one else admits to
saying it. I wasn't always beautiful. Everyone thought I was
fat, and after much persuading, I realized I was. None of the
guys would look twice at me, especially the guys that I
liked. I ate grapefruit for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Grapefruit and corn chips and nothing else. I started to get
skinny, my ribs appeared prodding at my skin. Then I was beautiful...
and kind of sick of grapefruits.
