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...
Confront those fears, you've carried all of these years. Confront those opinions, you've learned no longer matter. Confront those eyes, who's reflection rarely flatters. Confront those tears, you've shed too many times.
Believe those truths, you know deep within your heart. Believe in yourself, don't tear yourself apart. Believe in love, starting first with yourself. Believe in you, for you are most deserving of this.
It's hard to try and ignore a lifetime of expectations and constantly being told that your image does not reflect what society classes as the norm. But in order to be free of them, we first must confront them, one by one. Then, we can start to believe that they do not apply. They are not the criteria for a healthy, happy life. Learning to love yourself for how you are now, is the hardest yet most rewarding thing you can ever do.
