The coffee and the cigarettes curb my appetite.
Even, if the caffeine does make me jittery and my teeth are begining to turn yellow.
Calories, calories, calories.
I just want to be perfect, is that so much to ask?
The scale is both my best friend and my greatest enemy.
Don't you dare call this an addiction, I am not hurting anyone.
Calories, calories, calories.
The pills make me dizzy, but they will help me reach my goal.
My friends joke and say I am wasting away, but I've never felt better.
I drove twenty miles outside of town to eat an entire pizza.
I felt so guilty afterwards.
I couldn't keep it down.
calories, calories, calories
This is my reality.

"I just want to be perfect, is that so much to ask?"
This was very good, I also really liked the repition of "calories calories calories." You did a good job at using the words as a wordbank. You didn't have to do that, but you did well with it.
Thank you for entering and good luck! ♥

Very Sad
It must be horrible going through life like this. I suspect it is a mental disorder, but I am not a doctor, so I couldn't be for sure. But then again, I still haven't figured out why women paint their faces. Very interesting write about a terrible problem. Well done. ~Gar -
this for many people is too real .... this living hell of being in that place where the mind rules but the heart just cannot see the beauty of the one who lives inside. Life is fragile at the best and worst of times you have penned heart felt words I wish i had the answers. Perhaps by putting your line here upon the page some one may be able to show you the to happiness.
