Regardless of size, putting your life on hold until you reach that perfect weight, does no one any good.
This will be my collection of poems reflecting on societies obsession with weight and size and the effect this has on us and how we can change...
Your positivity will be tested, too often to mention, There will be days where it will seem, like self loathing will be eternal, Your strength and determination will be impounded, by thoughts of failure and neglect, "How could you let yourself get like this", plays on repeat in your head.
No one is ever fully believing, they are good enough, in every way, Despite appearances saying differently, self doubt will often come into play, Stop comparing your own goals, with the apparent successes of those around you, Everyone has their own insecurities, whilst they may not be in plain view.
See all the wonderful, amazing parts of you, focus on them daily and I guarantee you will find, The negatives, you so desperately want to eradicate, are mostly, creations of your own mind.
If only it were as easy as the words above. I know how difficult it can be, to remain positive. Especially when society puts so many pressures in place, to ensure that we never feel quite good enough. However, if we spend more time focussing on all of the good and the things to be thankful for, we can at least try to get out of the habit of seeing the shortfalls. Know that you are unique, each and every one of you. Love your differences. They make you more amazing than you'll ever know.
