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...
Every morning, I awake, I should be thankful for the strength, My body gives me, each day, instead of wishing it weren't mine.
Every morning, I awake, I should be thankful for its curves, For they support me, in a way, no other body could, I'm sure.
Every morning, I awake, I should be thankful for its flaws, Each one of them, a challenge won, each one a blessing to behold.
So this next morning, that I awake, I shall be thankful for all you are, My beautiful body, I apologise, for not recognising all of your worth, so far.
Ah, if only it were this easy! I wish I could achieve this every day. However, the main thing is, I continue to try! I try to be thankful for this wonderful body I have been gifted. Even if there are times when I wish it looked a different way. It's mine. I should recognise its worth and be thankful for it. As difficult as this sometimes can be. Keep trying!
