Why She’s So Cranky
April 4, 2008
She isn’t eating. She hasn’t been eating for weeks, hellbent on
losing what she calls some extra padding but what everyone else calls …
nothing. There is nothing to lose. But still she needs to lose it.
Started
dieting furiously a couple of months ago but wasn’t seeing results
quickly enough so she’s cut back the food and as a result has turned
into a total hag, chewing people out during production meetings, yelling
at catering staff for daring to bring food near her, and getting into a
little shoving match with her own publicist, who has the unfortunate
position of having to attend to her as she ramps up promotion, over
scheduling.
On the plus side, she is indeed growing ever slimmer.
But the thinness is now accompanied by a telltale glassy look in her
eyes which isn’t entirely unfamiliar. Being skinny can make you
dependent and cranky and weak…
Which is why she hasn’t been able
to finish a day’s work all week, always begging off early, complaining
of the flu, or a migraine...and now the project is behind schedule, her
agent has been called, and a talking-to is in the works. Career not in
jeopardy… yet. But probably soon if she doesn’t start eating.
