RULE n* 2 of a Skinny Princess

Don’t focus on hating Food, focus on maintaining a healthy relationship with Food

Healthy relationships don’t include codependency but freedom and time alone for each partner

“Food I love you and everything you know but I need some time for myself, some time away from you”

Food will understand and let you go, because Food didn’t create the toxicity of your relationship, you did, but happily, you can make it healthy again

“Food, how about we part ways for a few days?”

and Food will let you go

“Food, sweetie, i need you to survive and all, but thinking about it, i don’t need to see you that often”

Food will understand and give you space

Models don’t HATE Food, models have a healthy relationship with Food, that’s why they’re not controlled by her

Princesses cannot be controlled, Princesses control themselves as well as their relationships
