Because I’m not the kind of girl who gets the guy.
Because fat girls don’t eat in front of hot guys they have crushes on.
Because it’s the equivalent of taking a giant dump in front of you.
Everyone knows food is what makes you fat, so it goes without saying that when a heavy person eats in front of those who aren’t, they’re being judged. As if we’re expected to eat salads and veggies only. Because we no longer deserve to indulge and enjoy food since we abused it and let ourselves go.

“No one is perfect, Lennon. But what you think are flaws aren’t to those who love you. So, be one of those people who love you, okay?
This girl is burrowed so deep in my soul the best surgeon on the planet couldn’t cut her out.
