Fat

My stomach was growling when I woke up this morning. I only ate my vegetables at dinner last night. Lasagne is too fattening. I told Mother and Father I was feeling sick. Father just grunted, Mother looked at me in concern and sent me to bed, without making me eat anymore.

Is losing weight really this easy?

Should I just say I’m sick all the time?

Will the weight just go away?

I hope so.

I can’t be fat.

I won’t be fat.

No breakfast again for me this morning.

I’m still “sick”.

That’s what I told Mother anyway.

She believed me.

She always does.
