Anorexic creed

I believe in Control, the only force mighty enough to bring order to
the chaos that is my world.

I believe that I am the most vile, worthless and useless person ever
to have existed on this planet, and that I am totally unworthy of
anyone's time and attention.

I believe that other people who tell me differently must be idiots.
If they could see how I really am, then they would hate me almost as
much as I do.

I believe in oughts, musts and shoulds as unbreakable laws to
determine my daily behaviour.

I believe in perfection and strive to attain it.

I believe in salvation through trying just a bit harder than I did
yesterday.

I believe in calorie counters as the inspired word of god, and
memorise them accordingly.

I believe in bathroom scales as an indicator of my daily successes
and failures

I believe in hell, because I sometimes think that I'm living in it.

I believe in a wholly black and white world, the losing of weight,
recrimination for sins, the abnegation of the body and a life ever
fasting.

Amen
