A bag of chips, nuts, salad.

50, 100, 150 calories; 

Apple, yogurt.

200, 250 calories; 

"Eat more! You're too skinny!"

300 calories—

NO! Too much, god, it's too much, stop—

50 calories over your limit.

You sprint to the bathroom,

turn, slam the door, and stumble to the toilet.

Fat, ugly, worthless.

You're in luck;

no one's around.

Fingers down your throat,

you must throw up,

to make the calories go down.
