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...
Today I found the courage, to love every photograph,
Even the one's that leave me thinking, do I really look like that?
I'm starting to love them even though, they show a different side of me.
They show the angles and the bits, that I don't normally get to see.
That doesn't mean I shouldn't adore them, for they are all parts I should love,
Even the perceived by me, less flattering ones, are still something to be proud of.
I've always had an issue with having my photograph taken. I would literally do anything to avoid it, which is pretty sad, as there would be occasions where I would look back at photographs and realise it didn't even look like I was there :( . So this is something that I am trying to work on. Today, I found that courage and I let the photographs be taken and I loved them. All of them. For no matter what part of me they captured, whether it was my wobbly bits or strange expression at that moment, they were me! I was there. It captured a memory. So, I am trying to continue this and be in the photographs!
