Most compulsive overeaters find it difficult to keep their word.  ~ Voices of Recovery (Kindle Location 1396).

Sure I’ll do that.
Oops. I forgot to put it
on my calendar.
So sorry I missed it.
Did someone cover for me?
I promise, by the end of the month.
But I promised a lot more, too,
and I can’t get everything done.
I’m such a fraud. I’m a failure.
I can’t stand the humiliation.
I will have to kill the pain.
With food? With mind-numbing games?
With endless drivel?
It’s tough to keep my word.
But it’s not impossible.
If I learn that no is a word.
