If I didn't need food to live
If I could live on air and love and sleep alone
I don't think I'd miss it
The 195 pounds of me
Are always screaming for more chocolate
Screw the calories on the wrapper
I wish they didn't exist
I wish I didn't have to know
Things like this
I wish they weren't harmful
Screw the grams of fat
And the damn cholesterol
I know too much for my own good
I need to use the bike
That's been sitting collecting dust
I don't need people making a fuss
I'll start tomorrow when I'm not so weak
I need to go to bed and get some sleep
I don't want another label
In a list

Oh wow, what a truly honest
write, that many can relate to..
I see you took the prompt in
the opposite direction & I liked
that, as no one else did. You
did an excellent job at conveying
your emotions.. and I loved the
descriptions you displayed.
Best of luck & thanks for entering

I wish I liked food to the point of actually keeping a meal down. But I can't keep down a certain amount. I envy you. You'll have more normal eating habits then I will. Thank you for sharing.

I'm not bulimic. I could never bring myself to throw up but this past week I could have passed for an anorexic and I don't want that label. I just hate that everyone is either like "eat, eat, eat" or "oh, NO DON'T EAT THAT!" It's annoying.
