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...
The thing in life, that I wish to achieve, is wealth (of a different kind). It's not monetary or to be counted, it's quite simply something that is felt. Feeling strong and capable, is what I truly strive for. You see the wealth I seek, is to have good health, both mental and physically.
How many of us get caught up on material things and achieving the perfect body image? Not necessarily in a bad way, it's just we live in a society where we are constantly shown things we simply must have and I admire anyone who doesn't buy into this, in some way. However, taking a step back and over time, you realise that these things don't matter at all. Because if you don't have your health, it's all irrelevant. But there's no profit to be made for promoting for self love, normalising mental health and encouraging healthy lifestyles where diet is a forbidden word. So it's up to us, to remind each other, what truly matters.
