Forget that “Just happy to be here” shit

I think I must have had the chicken pox the day they called all the girls together in the school auditorium and taught them a whole list of things like:

• Evaluate parts of your body negatively as if these don’t make up YOU. “Oh, I hate my nose.” “My butt is so fat.”
• Weigh yourself compulsively even when you don’t have to make weight for anything.
• Don’t get obviously angry. Don’t swear. In fact, don’t do anything that might make anyone uncomfortable.
• Just be “Happy to be here.”
