It's all about shame, if that's not obvious. It's not all obvious, as to what he means with each line, but it just shows how shame runs through us in many ways we don't always recognize.
"I lost 10 pounds for the wedding" is maybe my favorite line. I lost 10 lbs. because I'm ashamed of how I look, and it's a common thing for people to starve themselves for weddings. Now, we can replace "shame" for "vanity" if you like, but it's just a different side of the same coin.
