the skinny girl looks into the mirror at her ribcage and sunken in face, still wishing to be skinnier. the binge eater looks at herself, embarrassed by the loads of food she eats in private. she crys inside, but tells no one. the supermodel looks in the mirror at her flawless features, but only thinks of how she can improve. the middle aged women looks in the mirror to find gray hairs and wrinkles. the rest of the day she hates herself. when i look in the mirror, i see nothing wrong with my body, and for that i feel guilty.
