The Ana Creed.

• I believe in Control, the only force mighty enough to bring order to the chaos that is my world.
  
• I believe that I am the most vile, worthless and useless person ever to have existed on this planet, and that I am totally unworthy of anyone’s time and attention.
  
• I believe that other people who tell me differently must be idiots. If they could see how I really am, then they would hate me almost as much as I do.
  
• I believe in oughts, musts and shoulds as unbreakable laws to determine my daily behavior.
  
• I believe in perfection and strive to attain it.
  
• I believe in salvation through trying just a bit harder than I did yesterday.
  
• I believe in bathroom scales as an indicator of my daily successes and failures
  
• I believe in hell, because I sometimes think that I’m living in it.
  
• I believe in a wholly black and white world, the losing of weight, recrimination for sins, the abnegation of the body and a life ever fasting.
