Bulimia
Saskia Dodd
BULIMIA
Imagine obsessing
over food you want to eat. Scales
and what you weigh today. Fancy
hearing voices in your head. Fingers
down your throat.
A scenario.
The girl stands on the scales.
Cannot eat today. Hunger
gnaws in her stomach. Grabs a biscuit.
Cannot stop at one.
What else is in the cupboard, the fridge?
Consumes till everything is gone.
Then voices tell her she is fat.
A glutton with no self control.
Standing on the scales, weighs
ten kilos more. Must rid herself
of the food. Sticks fingers down her throat.
Vomits till she feels
empty,
clean,
relieved.
“Will not do that again”
She tells herself, “Will not eat
for a week.” And she doesn’t.
Then hunger
gnaws again.
“You’ll get fat if you eat”
“An apple won’t hurt
you haven’t eaten for a week”
“An apple will make you fat.
have some water instead”
“An apple will stop the hunger”
The voices in her head,
debating
whether to eat. She
has an apple. Cannot stop at one.
Looks for what else there is.
Then weighs herself. Scales
go up once more. Races
to the bathroom, fingers
down her throat.
“Won’t do that again.”
Till hunger overpowers,
the cycle hard to break.
