Dinner with my Eating disorder

By Bluegirl

Boil 2 cups water
Add 2 cups rice
No salt
No margerine
Put it in a bowl and let it sit
Watch it
Give up and take a bite
Punish yourself
5 situps
Another bite
Another ten situps
S~Q~U~I~R~M
How many calories have I just eaten?
Another bite
35 minuites with the jump rope
Pick up the fork again
Put it down
I wonder how far I can push myself
On three bites of rice
Dump the bowl out
And it's two hours on the treadmill
I collapse into bed.
Dinner was exhausting tonite

    Wouldn't it be great if you could just eat the eating disorder and let the stomach deal with it? Scholar
