I can't think about my body too much or I start to feel very tight inside.
By the Scale captures more of a feeling than anything else. The consequences of 'self-control' over self worth, the twisted things we do to ourselves to feel control. There's the pressure, the shame and the distortion of the self.
I hope this piece does not summon familiar feelings for you, but if it does, I at least hope you know you aren't alone in them.
