I’ve lost 5 more pounds. “You look so good!” With every compliment I feel heavier. “You’ve lost so much weight!” Tomorrow I won’t eat. “I’m so proud of you!” I’m so hungry. “It looks like you’ve lost more weight..” I did, but I won’t admit to it. “Are you eating?” Yes, but I won’t say how little. “How did you do it??” Trust me. You don’t want to know.

Losing
I’ve lost 5 more pounds. “You look so good!” With every compliment I feel heavier. “You’ve lost so much weight!” Tomorrow I won’t eat. “I’m so proud of you!” I’m so hungry. “It looks like you’ve lost more weight..” I did, but I won’t admit to it. “Are you eating?” Yes, but I won’t say how little. “How did you do it??” Trust me. You don’t want to know.
I struggle with Anorexia and no one knows. This poem is comprised of things I’ve had people say to me and the responses I’ve made in my mind. Everyday is a battle and everyday I lose a little more.
