30 January 2013
I looked myself up and down in the full length piece of glass,
I did a little twirl and snuck looks as I walked past,
I thought of times so long ago and asked myself why?
Did I really eat that much? It was only one slice of pie!
As the weight crept up slowly and my dress size did too,
I thought enough's enough and changed my mood right out the blue.
I picked up all my clothes and measured round my waist,
It's only two dress sizes I can lose weight at a good pace.
So I googled on my iPhone to find a friendly place,
And I found one so very close, a smile crept up on my face.
I walked in full of confidence and was greeted by some smiles,
I saw them eye me up and down and waited a little while.
You see I am the smallest in this weight losing group,
Maybe they think I'm playing and hoping they won't get duped,
But confidence comes from within and I have to see myself every day,
And until I lose a pound or two I will never be happy this way.
So every week I wander into the friendly class,
But I can't stop thinking about this face behind the mask.
The face I see in the mirror is not the one I want to see,
I want to see the happy one that really shows I'm me.
So although I started slowly, it's really worth my while,
Coz there's definitely a happy girl inside who wants to smile.
And While these pounds fall off me I just wanted to let you know,
The person that's inside of you is the one that needs to grow.
Don't just take my word for it, look to the mirror for the truth,
Are you happy with what you see there?
Or is that question a little uncouth?
Have a little faith and you really will go far,
Just be true to yourself and be who you really are.
