in magazines they show you everything you've always wanted: a trim waist, a thigh gap, perhaps.
how odd - they must've forgotten to put in the empty stomachs containing nothing but yesterday's fingernails.
it must've slipped their minds to publish the dissolving teeth, or the protruding bones, or the skeletal ribcages.
i wonder what photoshop they use to airbrush away the harsh angles of needle-thin bones and the spidery veins pulsing faintly beneath translucent skin and the "no thanks, i already ate," and the "i'm fine, i swear."
it's almost funny - i can't even tell when i'm hungry or not anymore. almost funny, that is.
