You wake up, and you are thin. When you stretch, your splayed hands look dainty. You sit up, and you no longer have rolls of fat on your stomach. Instead it is smooth.

You get up and go to the bathroom, go pee, and weigh yourself. You smile, because you’re at your ultimate goal weight. You splash water on your face and look in the mirror, and you see a beautiful person grinning back, with big eyes, clear skin, and a sharp jawline. You are perfect.

After you shower and moisturize, you put your hair up in a messy bun, and decide that you don’t need makeup today. You take a second to admire your skinny waist and then you go to get dressed.

Today, you can wear whatever you want, because you have the body for it. You put on your cutest underwear. Your thigh gap means you can wear long lingerie socks and shorts, and your collarbones and tiny arms mean that you can wear a sleeveless top without feeling embarrassed. You put a bracelet on your dainty wrist to accessorize, and you’re all set.

As you grab your jacket and purse, you realize that you forgot breakfast, but you’ve gone so long without it that you don’t really care. You walk out the door and head out for the mall.

All your friends wanted to come with you, because you are now the centre of attention. Everybody wants to know how you did it, how you lost all that weight. How much did you eat? Did you work your butt off? Was it hard?

You smile confidently back at them, saying, “it was hard at first, but I kept working out and eating right, and I got to where I am now because I didn’t give up.”

They still have so many questions and you keep talking until you head for the food court. You’re truly content with ordering a small salad and a Diet Coke, even though you could eat whatever you wanted now, because you love this feeling of power. Everybody is looking at you in awe and jealousy. Everybody wants to either date you, or be you. And everybody wants to be friends with you.

You no longer get left behind when your friends finish their meals and get up. Instead, you leave at the same time as them, throwing your leftovers out in the trash. You only finished half your salad, but because your stomach is so shrunk, you’re already full. Instead of walking behind everyone else, you lead the group, your friends laughing and rushing up to keep up with your quick pace. You are gorgeous, loved, and in control. You have finally made it. You are finally happy.
