SOMEONE WHO HER ENTIRE LIFE THE
ENTIRE WORLD HAS TOLD HER
LITERALLY MAKE YOURSELF SMALLER

YOUR PERSONALITY, BE SWEET, BE
NICE, BE POLITE.
SHE GETS TO A BREAKING POINT AND
STOP PUTTING HER TIME AND MONEY
AND ENERGY INTO TRYING TO MAKE
HER THIGHS SMALLER AND START
GOING OFF HER DREAMS, YOU KNOW,
SO THAT’S KIND OF WHAT THE
SHOW’S ABOUT.
SHOW’S ABOUT. >> AND SOME OF IT’S
AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL?
