I sit and watch my fellow "peers" purge on fattening sweets.
They say it's in the merriness of Christmas but I know it's just so they don't have to converse with one another.

I wonder if they cont the carbs, sugars, and calories like I do on my bad days.
And as I sit here watching the sympathy in their eyes as they glance at me I wonder...

Is it because I'm sitting alone or do those girls know how I feel?
Maybe they're purging only to regurgitate those sweets when they return home.

And as they sit purging on those surly delectable, delicious sweets do they crave the feeling to relinquish that doughnut they had after practice or that bowl of ice cream they had for dessert that they didn't think they deserved?

They silence this thought, drown this thought out for another day with this purge they are participating in.

Or is it just in the name of our "Oh so mighty Jesus's" birthday?

Or maybe they really are just hungry.

If so then why do they stare with their sympathetic eyes?
