Wow! Today is going to be great. I actually feel rested for once.

Me
What should I wear?
Body Image
Well.... no matter what you put on you're going to look terrible.
Me
Uh... ok....
Body Image
You'd better stick with something ultra loose and definitely black. Black is slimming ya know? You're going to need it.
Me
Alright I guess I'll just pick this.
Me
Now it's time for breakfast!
Body Image
You probably should skip that. Especially if you want to stick to that new crash diet you've been thinking about.
Me
Naw, I think I'll just pick something healthy and quick. How about a granola bar?
Me
Body Image
Actually, that bar is probably full of sugar. You don't want that.
Me
No! I checked. It's actually legit. I have to eat SOMETHING
Body Image
Eating has been your biggest problem in the first place. Look at you! Your seat-belt can barely wrap around you.

Me
Maybe you're right. I kinda do feel terrible right now.

Hey! I just wanted to call and wish you a good morning and say that I think you're beautiful.
Me
Really? Thanks! Yeah, I've been having a rough day.
Body Image
And a rough life. I mean look at you!
BAE
Why? Is something wrong?
Me
Honestly. I've just been stressing about a few pounds I've gained. Life has been crazy and I haven't had the energy or time to make it to the gym.
BAE
Babe. You look great, but if you want to make a change then don't stress. Just make a plan and stick to it. It will all be OK.
Me
Yeah! You're right. I can so do this.
