Tom Kaulitz

You'd been dating Tom Kaulitz for quite some time now. He always seemed perfect to you: attentive, calm, a good listener. It was easy to be with him, as if all your worries faded into the background.
But there was one thought inside you that wouldn't let go—your thighs. They seemed too big, not what you wanted them to be. You dreamed of having smaller legs, compared yourself to others, and every time you found a flaw.
Tom never emphasized it. On the contrary, he often said that he liked the way you looked and that everything about you was harmonious. But you found it hard to believe.
One evening, sitting at home in front of the mirror, you stared at your reflection for a long time. Doubts were mounting. At some point, you picked up your phone, took a photo—it showed your thighs especially clearly—and sent it to him.

• Tom, do you really like this?

The answer came almost immediately:

• Of course.

You chuckled slightly, as if you were expecting exactly this, but inside you still felt uneasy.

• Not for me, I want to lose weight.

A few seconds of silence seemed like an eternity. Then a message appeared:

• No, I like you the way you are, no need to lose weight, darling.
