—Why do cravings have to exist?—

I overate today. I ate dry cereal this morning. And then when I got home from school I ate a piece of lasagna and garlic bread. Then later I made popcorn. And then after that I ate like 5 crackers with hummus. Then to finish it off I was craving more lasagna, so you know what I did. I went and cut a few pieces off my dad's slice of lasagna and ate it. I'm disgusted with myself for eating that much food.
Then as I was walking to my room my dad thought it would be a good idea to open up his mouth and make me feel more insecure than I already am. "Hey Lyra, your tapeworm bothering ya?"
That was what made me know I needed a change. Never again will I overeat. Never again will I eat a lot of food. I will be skinnier. I will be skinnier and people will like me and fall in love with me because I will be perfect. That is the pact I made with myself.
