Can't eat
Can't stop
Feel sick
Must not
No sugar
No fat
Only veg
All of that
Hate myself
Don't understand
Eat more
Shove it down
Wish hadn't
Never again
Wake up
It starts again
Xxxxxxxx
This poem is written as part of my a to z of mental health. If you or someone you love is suffering with an eating disorder I highly recommend OA - overeaters anonymous.
Being mentally healthy (I think!) I can relate to some of your poem, especially the last paragraph.
ReplyDeleteStopping by from Alphabe- Thursday - mine for letter 'E' @ ImagesByCW is about 'donner'
Ah yes. I am familiar with this go-round.
ReplyDeleteWell done.

It is pretty difficult to re-program our heads that food is NOT comfort.
ReplyDeletePeace is comfort.
This is a battle I fight every day!
Thanks for an engaging and thoughtful link to the letter "E".
