I’ve been on a diet for more than a year now,
watching every calorie, wondering
just how much to allow myself .
You have to understand,
I used to have a committed relationship with food.
We were inseperable, and I was happy with
my self image. But then, one day,
I caught someone else eating the food,
and nothing was ever the same.
I’ve grown tired of counting every carbohydrate,
watching each poly-saturated-conversation,
all the omega-3-women not in my life,
and wondering
when I’ll be done watching my wait.
