Poem -
Skin Tight
Oh the constant battle
To try and lose the weight,
Getting on and off the scale
To see those numbers I do hate,
I try to listen to my voice
By eating healthy, not by choice,
I love my burgers and my fries
Pizza, pasta, cheese and ryes,
I try to walk and run and ride
To lose the weight the will’s inside,
You join a gym in hopes to lose
The extra weight you didn’t choose,
And most of us will not commit
Willpower drops and we submit,
But then there’s some that win the fight
They lose the weight and get Skin Tight!

Ahahahahaha!
Funny stuff, Faith.
The abcb rhyme scheme you've chosen really helps to keep this poem bouncing, bounding, and pounding along.
Not to mention that everything you say here is true, lol.
Excellent...

I know it is so funny this affects so many of us in a real way, I was laughing as I wrote it, one of my struggles...lol
You are more than a number on a weighing scale. Your strength, endurance and power cannot be quantified, dear sister. Diets don't work and it should be common knowledge that the dieting industry is rich off of your misplaced insecurities. Nobody can be confident for you, it has to be you that decides...you know what? I am perfect because I am imperfect. I am flawed, I am big or I am small but I am me. I am not a statistic, not a number, not an adjective and I cannot be defined by anything but what I want to define myself as. It has taken me a long while to realise this but now that I have realised it, I hope for it to be the same esteem and resolve you hold for yourself. This poem has spoken to me and I am thoroughly grateful for its existence. Take care now and be proud of all that you have achieved and are without having to starve yourself of all that you are allowed to enjoy.

thank you so much! I agree, we need to address our issues within ourselves not to please others. Especially with growing older our expectations should be happily 'less'.
