Have you been eating properly? I look at your photos, and sometimes I see that you are too thin, wearing a dress that's too small. One image that sticks out in my mind is an ad by Dolce and Gabbana, with 3 models (including you) in the forest- so emaciated! Do they think that's beauty? Or art? Such deathly thin models DO NOT flatter the clothes that they are wearing. If they want to show off a size 2 dress, then get a small model! Someone who's 5'2"! Don't force a model who is 5'11" into a size 2! I see everywhere many flattering photos of small women with beautiful clothes. Don't they know how to make people look good in photographs? Keep the girls healthy, and fit them with the right size!
Anyway, the message today is about those who forbid the sustenance of others. They come up with excuses to restrict food and income, so they can hog and control, for whatever reason. Some of them behave like mobsters, then expect others to consider them as civilized, and "developed"! And like those fashion photos, they think that other people don't notice. I remember Phoenix, Arizona which is close to Mexico. There is a huge number of undocumented aliens close to the border. The financial condition of many Mexicans is frustratingly poor, because most of the area is controled by mobsters. Owning a small business means getting a loan from the mob, because they are the ones with the money- drug money, that is. So these people run to the north to escape the iron fist, but they are illegal aliens. So it is easy for the iron fist to follow them. Though it's not as easy to enforce mob rule in USA as opposed to Mexico, it still gets done.
This is definitely a god complex, to forcibly restrict the sustenance of others. And anybody with a god complex (or follows a tyrant) certainly doesn't believe in God, because they hold others as equals to God: namely themselves. And they get away with it because they impose fear. However, there is always a bigger gun, and it could be pointing at them from thousands of miles away. And God holds the biggest gun of all.
Anyway, I would like you to stay at a size 7. I think you are naturally thin anyway, and filling out a size 7 is most flattering for you, and probably most healthy too. Go out and enjoy food with your buddies. The simple rules are: no pig, no carrion, no blood, and make sure you say, "In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful" before the first bite/sip. Have a ribeye steak for me! I can't afford meat right now, but the house my mother gave me has plenty of fruit trees, so I'm OK for now, alhamdulillah. Please pray for us, my beloved.

Qur'an 20110620
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
142. Of the cattle are some for burden, and some for meat. Eat what Allah has provided for you, and follow not the footsteps of Satan, for he is to you an avowed enemy.
143. Eight in pairs, of sheep a pair, and of goats a pair. Say, "Has God forbidden the two males, or the two females, or which the wombs of the two females enclose? Tell me with knowledge if you are truthful."
144. Of camels a pair, and of oxen a pair. Say, "Has God forbidden the two males, or the two females, or which the wombs of the two females enclose? Were you present when Allah ordered you such a thing? But who does more wrong than one who invents a lie against Allah, to lead men astray without knowledge? For Allah guides not people who do wrong."
145. Say, "I find not in the Message received by me by inspiration any forbidden to be eaten by one who wishes to eat it, unless it be dead meat, or blood poured forth, or the flesh of swine, for it is an abomination, or what is impious, on which a name has been invoked other than Allah's." But, if a person is forced by necessity, without willful disobedience, nor trangressing due limits, your Lord is Oft-Forgiving, most Merciful.
146. For those who followed the Jewish Law, We forbade all with undivided hoof, and We forbade them the fat of the ox and the sheep, except what adheres to their backs or their entrails, or is mixed up with a bone. This in recompense for their willful disobedience, for We are True.
147. If they accuse you of falsehood, say, "Your Lord is full of Mercy, All-Embracing." But from people in guilt, never will God's wrath be turned back.
148. Those who give partners will say, "If Allah had wished, we would not have given partners to God, nor would our fathers, nor would we have had any taboos." So did their ancestors argue falsely, until they tasted of Our wrath. Say, "Have you any knowledge? If so, produce it before us. You follow nothing but conjecture, you do nothing but lie."
149. Say, "With Allah is the argument that reaches home. If it had been God's Will, God could indeed have guided you all."
150. Say, "Bring forward your witnesses to prove that Allah did forbid so and so." If they bring such witnesses, be not you amongst them, nor follow you the vain desires of such as treat Our Signs as falsehoods, and such as believe not in the Hereafter, for they hold others as equals with their Guardian-Lord.
151. Say, "Come, I will rehearse what Allah has prohibited you from." Join not anything as equal with God. Be good to your parents. Kill not your children on a plea of want: We provide sustenance for you and them. Come not nigh to shameful deeds, whether open or secret. Take not life, which Allah has made sacred, except by way of justice and law. Thus does God command you, that you may learn wisdom.
