I said "Man, I've gained so much weight."

He said, "You look just the same to me."

I said, "My clothes aren't fitting right. Everything is uncomfortable. These pants are tight."

He said, "You look great."

I said, "God, I'm ugly."

He said, "You're beautiful."

I said, "Oh my god, I'm so ugly."

He said, "No you're not. You're beautiful."

"I'm fat," I said.

"You're not," he said.

"I'm going back on my diet," I said.

"If you really want to," he said, "if you really think you have to, I'll help you anyway I can." He said - "But you're beautiful now."

He is crazy, but he keeps me from being entirely crazy. If only I could believe him just a little bit more.
