Semua Bab How I Heard My Cat and Ruined Them: Bab 1 - Bab 8

My boyfriend, Jason Miller, kept going, his voice full of contempt.“Can you stop eating already? You’ve got a double chin now. You look like a pig. And you seriously think I’m supposed to propose to you looking like that?“I’m telling you right now, if you don’t get down to 100 pounds, forget about marriage.”I looked at myself in the mirror, still trying to steady myself after the shock of hearing a cat’s thoughts.I was five foot six and weighed a hundred and twenty-one pounds. That was a perfectly healthy, normal weight. But the way Jason talked, you’d think I was huge.I’d loved him so much before that I really had tried to lose weight.I was eating one meal a day. I was working out like crazy. I was practically starving and exhausting myself just to slim down, all because I wanted his approval.And not only did he not care, he kept mocking me the whole time.It was ice-cold.Chloe stuffed the imported fruit I’d bought into her bag and chimed right in.“Exactly. Jenna, i

With makeup, her small eyes actually gave her that soft, delicate kind of pretty.I pretended not to notice the smug look on her face and sighed in frustration.“I don’t even know what’s going on. I barely eat anything every day, and my trainer works out with me. Why haven’t I lost any weight at all?”Seeing how defeated I looked, Chloe couldn’t hide her smile anymore.“Maybe it’s just fate. I’m one of those lucky people. No matter how much fried chicken or burgers I eat, I still lose weight.”“Right, Jason?”Jason was a practical man.He used to brush Chloe off, but now that she looked noticeably better, even his tone softened.“Yeah. Chloe, with a body like yours, anyone would look good bringing you out.”After exchanging looks with her, he turned back to me and started pressuring me again.“Jenna, look at yourself, then look at Chloe. As a woman, can you have some self-awareness? You’re this fat and you still think your life has meaning?“I’m warning you, lose the weight.

The person who walked in, no, calling her a person almost didn’t feel right.She looked like a skeleton.Chloe was wearing a red bridesmaid dress, but she was so frail she had to brace herself against the wall just to inch forward step by step.Her cheeks had caved in so deeply they looked hollow. Her skin was ashen, almost gray. And because her face had sunk in so badly, her eyes looked even more bulging, as if they might pop right out at any second.Worse still, she’d gotten so thin her body couldn’t keep up. The hair at the crown of her head had started falling out, leaving only a few sparse strands hanging around the edges.Her arms were as thin as twigs.She staggered toward Jason, but he had just finished throwing up and immediately dodged away from her in disgust.“How did you turn into this? You look like a freaking skeleton. Don’t come near me...”Jason’s eyes went wide in disbelief. He couldn’t believe this ghastly thing in front of him was the same woman who had been

“I’m telling you right now, this wedding is off because I’m the one dumping him.“A man like Jason is nothing but trash. You get nothing out of being with him. Stick around long enough and you might even catch something.”After saying that, I turned and walked away.I hadn’t gone far before Jason grabbed my arm.He looked flustered.“Jenna, you can’t just leave like this. Today’s my wedding. If you walk out, who am I supposed to marry? I’ll be a joke to everyone here.“Besides, men are naturally a little… adventurous. Men had multiple flings. So what if I’m a little flirtatious?“And look at you. You’re overweight, you don’t have a family. If we had kids, there’d be no one to help take care of them. My mom would have to do everything. And if we ever ran into money problems, you wouldn’t even have family to back you up. Jenna, you need to wake up.”The sheer shamelessness of it made me laugh out loud.“Jason, you really have no shame. If anyone needs to wake up, it’s you.”I s
