No Eating

I'm sorry mom but I had to lie
I told you I ate but I didn't
You gave me food but I gave it to the kids
I didn't want to lie but I had no choice

I hate eating, I really do
I've got enough fat on me
To last all summer long
So trust me, I won't starve

aww a great poem, I used to feel like that sometimes but i learnt that the weight stayed on longer by not eating, I used to be quite big which is why my own sisters used to call me fatty diane and got their kids to call me aunty fat diane but when the weight went you know what they then said i was too slim, I feel what you write as i have been in a place where I dont want to eat and times where i just ate chocholate loads of it for comfort before i found God that is, God bless you from diane
