Everyday you tell me, "Jess, you're getting way to thin" Why can't you understand? I know the consequences of my sin I know what I'm doing to my body inside and out But you just don't know what my true feelings about I know that I'm not fat, and I know it's just because you care But you just don't understand why it isn't fair! This scale, it plays games, it taunts me everyday It shows no sign of the weight I lost back in May. I'm at 102 now, just 10 more pounds to go Please just stop trying to make me stop-quit telling me no. Everyday you tell me, "Jess you're getting way too thin" Why can't you understand? I know the consequences of my sin. For thoose of you who don't know me all that well, I should probably tell you that I am a model and for the past 2 years battled with a minor eating disoreder. I've never gotten to the point that I lost way too much weight, that would mean losing my contract, but there was always so much competetion within the agency. I know what I'm doing to my self is wrong, but you see, I'm only trying to lose a few pounds to achieve my goal. Thanks for listening and thanks for your replies!! ~*~Love is the product of our dicontentment with ourselves~*~ ~*~SMILE! It makes your butt shine!~*~ |

This piece seems to be very personal. I just hope it doesn't go too far. Keep your head up and always do your best. Chel "True friends stab you in the front" |

This poem desrcibes my sister. She has an eating disorder am I'm arfraid it'll get worse. She really isn't fat at all. And it's not what you look like on the outside, its what you look like in the inside...keep that in mind. Within you I lose myself. Without you I find myself wanting to become lost again. -unkown- |

Jess...I know that you'll be alright. Please don't get like my sister. I'd be nice if you could just stay at 100 pounds...that's pretty thin as it is. I won't bash you for what you're doing, I understand. But I would like to see you just be happy with how beautiful you are.

Well, Jessica, what can I say? It's a really good poem! I guess it's kinda pointless to say that I know how you feel and I can totally relate, becuase you know that already. Keep up the writing. Everything will work out just fine! Bel |

Yes, I do understand. And there are alot worse things that people do to themselves to get ahead in whatever career paths that they have chosen. Just be carefull because success can be like a drug and the addiction can drive you alot farther than you ever had inteded on going. Just keep your head up, and don't lose your passion. yours truly jason [This message has been edited by Jacman (edited 07-03-2000).] |

Wow Jessica ... powerful and poignant verse! I know all too well whereof you speak ... but please be kind to yourself. Competition in your modelling career can be awfully intense. I had a wonderful friend who had bulemia, and the after-effects many years down the road were quite devastating to her. It became "like a drug" to her ... very sad indeed, it was difficult for her to stop. Please be careful in this and take care of yourself (the scale knows not what is in your heart). Wonderful poem and very well expressed! Best wishes, /Kit |

Thank you all for your woderful replies and concern! I'm so very happy to know that you all care. I'm very happy to have met all of you and have such a wonderful community. Nikki~I'm very sorry to hear about your sister!! My heart is with you and I hope that she gets better!! Erin~sounds like we can relate to a lot of problems of eachothers! Im afraid it's not that easy as to just stop. It becomes an addiction and I can't help it. but thanks for your support and kind words. Jeremy~well thank you my der! You have the most beautiful way of showing your support form people!! Thank you so much for being there! Bel~thanks for the kind words. I'm glad you know what it's like. Unfortunately I'm not doing as good as I thought I was as a recovering anorexic huh? lol. I'll do my best though. Jeremiah~I'll try my best!! Jason~You are soo right! thank you so much for making me realize how stupid my little addiction is! I think it all started out when I didn't have control over my life but I did have control over what I ate adnd what my weight would be. It just became an obsession and for nonw, I'm just gonna have to work on getting over it.Thanks for understanding! Kit~I'm sorry to hear of your friend. I hope she's doing better now! I am going to try my best to get over this, but I can't guarantee anything, it's just not that easy. I'm glad you liked the poem. thanks for the kind words THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING SUCH GREAT FRIENDS TO ME. IN THE LAST MONTH I HAVE LEARNED MORE ABOUT PEOPLE THAN I EVER HAVE IN MY WHOLE LIFE. ALL OF YOU, PLEASE KEEP YOUR HEADS UP AND DO YOUR BEST IN LIFE! BEST OF LUCK.~*~JESS~*~ ~*~Love is the product of our dicontentment with ourselves~*~ ~*~SMILE! It makes your butt shine!~*~ |

i don't know how i missed this poem, but it makes me wonder and a little mad. Don't overdo that diet thing Jess. As you said, you know it's bad. If something gets in the way of your health, it's not worth doing it, that's my belief. No matter what, everyone in passions knows your sweetness, and you'll alwyays by everyone pryncess no matter what. Don't put your health 2nd...it should always be 1st. As i wake up in the morning I ask myself, "Is life worth living or should I blast myself" TUPAC SHAKUR |

jessica good poem i am a competitive athlete and i understand the stresses of keeping the wieght off, but in the end it isn't worth it, you goals are not worth risking your health... remember what's important, and keep your head up "In three words I can sum up everything I learned about life: It Goes On" ~Robert Frost |
