To My Evil Anorexic Twin

By: Tough Chick

To my evil anorexic twin,

Your black cloud no longer looms over me. Trying desperately to break my spirit and abolish my dreams of a new life. You, the evil and powerful demon inside my mind. You demean me. You tell me that I am fat, I'm no good, I must die and you will not let me live. Why do you say such hurtful things? Upsetting my soul and my poor heart cries out. It hurts; you hurt me.

I've been trying to fight you with all of my might. That's what my therapist says I should do. Well, I'm telling you, "NO", none of your evil words are true. I am empowered with strentgh and love. You know nothing about love, only hate. Guess what? You cannot hurt me anymore. I know that I am a worthwhile person with so many desirable qualities and you, my nasty combatant, cannot change that. Not with anything you say or do. I am slamming the door on that part of my life. It is in the past with my other nasty memories. That's right, you are nothing more than a memory to me. I am taking control of my life and you won't ever again tell me that I'm fat. Oh, I bet you're just fuming with rage. Have I offended you in some way? It's tough isn't it, when you feel that you have no control. I don't believe that you are capable of feeling sadness, only for use as a manipulation. Now, you should realize how I've felt all these years. Powerless, out of control, sadness and frustration, to name a few.

Listen carefully to what I am saying, "I am taking over. This is my life, not yours. You are nothing but the filth that builds up around the bottom of a toilet." I know that you will fight this tooth and nail. Go ahead, you don't scare me anymore and I assure you, I will win this fight. It's taken me a great deal of time to see that my life is a special gift. That I am special. So, try and try with all that you've got because I am free from your spell. Today, I choose to be free.
