With this day we change our lives forever.
For better or worse, we don't know yet.
All we know is this moment.
Before we go forward
we need to know where we
start.
"Start weight? Mines 150"
"This is crazy! We are the same weight!"
"So what about breakfast?"
That was the question.
What about the most important meal of the day? The meal that allows us to function
throughout the day?
It's simple really.
We eat breakfast everyday, and everyday
we eat more and more after this beginning meal.
"No. Breakfast is no more."
"So what do we eat?"
"We don't eat. Instead we do anything else"
"This is going to suck."
Of course it's going to suck.
But what sucks more then going hungry
is being a walking ball of blubber.
After the treacherous step onto the scale,
I feel like a bag of flour has been put upon
my shoulder, weighing me down.
My vision blurs as I walk away
from the steaming pile of
pancakes on the table
Keeping the lights off in my room,
Images of stick like girls flood my mind.
The way their ribs try to escape
their delicate skin.
Or how the only way their
thighs will ever touch is when they
cross their tinny legs.
One day I will be like that.
We will be like that.
We just have to survive day one.
