I hate People who Can Diet
some people diet
It works for them
I despise them
I have to starve myself to lose weight
One time I lost sixty-four pounds
After a year of eating only lettuce
and drinking only water
I stopped breathing when I laid down
My waist was nineteen inches
I thought my mother was kidding when she made me a skirt
A doctor told me I would die if I did not start eating
I ate peanut butter and chocolate for an hour
and gained all of the sixty-four pounds back
I hate people who can diet
I can only starve
to lose weight
