“I loved you when you were three hundred and two pounds, and I love you now."
-Rat”
Donna Cooner, Skinny

“It just wasn't fair. God made some people naturally skinny and some people naturally fat. I'd never know how my life would have been different if I'd been one of the ones He made skinny. I didn't know how He chose. This one will be blonde, with long thin legs and great skin. This one will be short and fat with legs that rub together when she walks. I just knew I wasn't one of the lucky ones.”
Donna Cooner, Skinny

“No glass slippers, just a glass heart shattering into a million slivers of regret.”
Donna Cooner, Skinny
