What are some songs that describe eating disorders or body image?

I’m doing a project in school, and I need 5 songs that have something to do with anorexia, eating disorders, or just body image in general. I already have one.. ‘Tied Together With a Smile’ by Taylor Swift. Please help?

‘She’s Falling Apart” by Lisa Loeb

here are the lyrics:

They pull up their chairs to the table
She stares at the food on her plate
At the toast and the butter
Her father, her mother, she pushes away

And they rise in the morning
And they sleep in the dark
And even though nobody’s looking
She’s falling apart

She gets home from school too early
And closes the door to her room
There’s nothing inside her
She’s weak and she’s tired of feeling like this

And they rise in the morning
And they sleep in the dark
And even though nobody’s looking
She’s falling apart

They call her for dinner, she makes up a reason
She looks at her arms and she rolls down her sleeves
And her mother is starting to see through her lies
And last night her father had tears in his eyes

And they rise in the morning
And they sleep in the dark
And even though nobody’s looking
She’s falling apart

And we rise in the morning
And we sleep in the dark
And even though nobody’s looking
She’s falling apart
