Every Girl is entitled to a secret..or two..or three.

"No other choice"
the voice of her confidence always says.
she gives into this little voice,
and keeps a secret that makes her weak.

"Take one every 4-6 hours"
the bottle in the health department reads.
Every calorie is a war,
fight it with your will power,
the secret will always be yours.

"Don't let anyone in"
her newly discovered "friend" demands.
Never give up your goal.
With Ana you will win.

Keep holding on,
Only until you get there,
Til all the wright is gone.
You will get there eventually, if you never give up.

"Have you lost weight?"
you always want to hear.
"You really look great"
The end is becoming near.
