What do you do when you hide the food?
When you eat until you're full
And continue until you can't.
What do you do when they still say you look skinny?
When your BMI is in range
But you're no longer healthy
What do you do when you've gained ten pounds?
When you see your belly
And feel the weight
What do you do when nobody else sees the struggle?
Even when you say it out loud?

- Comment from author about the poem: May not be relatable to most, but I really don't care. There's no pain like eating and feeling unable to stop even when you want to.

I care... I work on my wife's weight and help her. So, yes, your message is relatable. So, thank you for sharing it. Be blessed!
Haha thank you!
Eating disorders are serious and felt to beyond the person's control. Help is available but not all help works so find someone you can work with and trust. A brave write especially since most find it very hard to talk about and keep it secret.
Thank you for reading!
A important write that will be relatable to many, one of the hidden disorders that many suffer from for a multitude of reasons, nicely done
Thank you!
You are very welcome
i empathize with you - have heard a lot of comments when commented upon about y weight - although i always tried to avoid bingeing...and in fact was always trying to avoid what i enjoyed most [reverse factor here]
hope you will climb out of this stage soon...
Thank you, I wish luck to you as well!
