Day 72
122 lbs
Wishing stone, wishing stone, I think I’ve found a trick. Dieting is fine, if you need to eat. People fast all the time, so why shouldn’t I? Maybe then I’ll lose some weight and after that I’ll put the food back on my plate.

Day 175
121 lbs
Wishing stone, wishing stone, do you think I’m pretty? Of course, don’t be silly, I look nothing like those models with their perfect hair and boobs. Their stomachs are flat, their arms are thin, their buts are big but not their thighs and they’re standing six feet high. I’ll never measure up. No one could ever love a girl as fat as I.
Day 200
115 lbs
Wishing stone, wishing stone, I’ve joined the soccer team. Not eating only goes so far, to get thin I must be exercising.
Day 235
111 lbs
Wishing stone, wishing stone, school is really hard. I don’t have the time or energy to keep up with everything. My classes are tough and my grades are slipping, coffee only lasts so long. I think I’ll have to prioritize my body first— who even worries about their mind.

Day 302
101 lbs
Wishing stone, wishing stone, I am almost their. My mom asked why I’m wearing baggy sweaters, I told I run cold. I’m not sure why I lied. But I now I spend my days inside. I hide in my room for breakfast lunch and dinner. My mom asks questions, dad does too. I don’t know what to say. Don’t they want me to be happy? Isn’t being beautiful important? I don’t understand their concerns, I’m only doing what I have to do to make myself beautiful just like I am always told I must be to be happy.

Day 320

Wishing stone, wishing stone, today I went to the doctor. While I was there my mom asked me why I do it. Why I cut, why I starve, all I said is I must do it. The doctors looked at me weird when my mom said I needed help. Deep down I know that she’s right but admitting it is too hard a fight. The doctors said to take this blue pill, and to come back when I’m sicker. They said I wasn’t sick enough to be treated but I wonder if what it really is is that I’m too sick to get better.
