A part of the story that I had told Fat Henry was true.I worked on a rustbucket, and many times for long gruelling hours , sometimes even forgetting to eat , or going hungry wilfully just to finish my work.And as a result, I lost unhealthy amounts of weight...
Sadly people thought that my cheekbones had risen and that suddenly I looked much better than before...
Mass media and advertisements had made anorexia a positive desirable trait- even among males.
I had sunken hollows under my cheekbones that made made my cheekbones stand out in prominence.
My cheekbones stood out like perky nipples on a cold day...I looked emaciated...And I looked good.With some rouge and mascara I'd look" Fashion TV" good.
I had resolved right then and there that I'd never go hungry for the sake of my work...
And now, my cheekbones are missing...buried beneath tissue once emaciated.
