I often wonder, "Why can't I be thin?"

This is a pain from deep within.

I want the number low

But the opposite is happening slowly.

I hate the skin that I am in;

All I want is to appear thin.

Although I still struggle with these thoughts, they are much better than they used to be. I didn't want to go into detail about things I used to do.
