Ok, new game: let's find all the pictures Flannery used to hatehatehatehate with a burning fiery passion because she was OMGSOFAT in them and see what she actually looked like!
This one actually made me laugh aloud. I remember just how painfully awkward I felt in it, how my brain was screaming at me that my fat was showing my fat was showing oh shit oh shit make a funny face distract from the fat oh shit oh shit!... I literally could not stand to so much as look at this picture for four years. I just looked at it today. Uh...

Let's all say it together, mes amis:
BODY DYSMORPHIC DISORDER.
(often not offically diagnosed in those with eating disorders because it's pretty much just assumed to be part of the package.)
P.S. This is not what I look like now. Although...I feel about the same. Weird.
My dear, I love you. And let me say that I love that I am a small part of your life (just like I'm a small part of that photo)...
