- Don’t tell anyone you’re hungry
- Understand it’s not about not eating, it’s about not eating when you’re alone
- Frame your isolation as dedication
- Go to your grandmother’s weekly lunch
- Take chocolate from the bowl on the secretary’s desk
- Throw the chocolate in the trash when you leave
- Write down everything you eat, so you can fail less tomorrow
- Count your bones as they appear
- Tell yourself you can stop, if you want
- Tell your mother nothing’s wrong
- Remember that emptiness is perfection, because you can’t hurt if you’re hollow
- Don’t think you’re ever done
