I dunno, when I read the lyrics, I kinda get the feeling that she's talking about an eating disorder.
She's afraid of her "bigness" - even though she may be tiny, she sees herself as fat.
She "sabotages" herself - this could be a reference to purging.
The "golden" and "glowing" could refer to her skin - people who have an eating disorder don't have very healthy skin...it's cracked and dry and stuff.
I think I might have read somewhere that Alanis Morissette had an eating disorder before.
But I dunno.
That was just my take on it.
