I wear this fat suit
seemingly unrecognizing my own face in the mirror....
Is that a double chin? Where did it come from?
Oh no! It's not a double, it's a triple.
That bowl of ice cream ( or maybe it was the entire
half gallon ) is now sitting on my chin!
When did I go for this fitting? I don't recall being
squeezed in to this size and yet, there are my
pants clinging to my thighs. Tight as a second skin.
Oh my! This just won't do! NO MORE CANDY for YOU!
Saturated fat, triglycerides, cholesterol thats out of
control. All because you wanted that candy bar and
fooled yourself in to thinking you'll eat just one!
You should have known yourself better than that!
Food is the proverbial," you can't eat just one!"
So I walk and with every step I take I leave a piece
of this fat suit behind and not the one that I see
when I look over my shoulder. Yes! That's my new
back side baby!
No more cookies, candies and cakes. I'd much rather
look into the mirror and recognize the me that I see
and not this person impersonating me!
I will no longer be what I eat. I will eat to be the new
and improved, healthier me!
Author notes
I went to the doctor and found out my triglycerides are three times what is normal. I was told that basically I am eating to kill myself. What? Who? Me? Yea you stupid! Sounds harsh huh? The picture that is posted is of me about five years ago. I was healthy and not over weight. Then I got smacked with chronic pain and health problems galore. I let my body go to hell.....until thirteen days ago! No more. I'm back on track and I will get my body back. Being over weight is not an option any longer. When I walk I envision myself walking right out of this fat suit that I am shedding. This piece is basically me poking fun at myself and finding humor and in doing so hopefully
facing a much healthier and long future!
