Despising My Body Today

Have you ever had a headache at the top Of your spine, in your neck, at the base of Your head? This is where mine is. Reminding me that I despise being human. Squeezed into this treacherous body, The one I did not feed right, Did not water enough, and Am not presently taking care of. Blaming it for my abuse.

I can TOTALLY relate to this poem. This was me for the last 2-3 days... (And sincerest sympathy for your doctor's scale experience. I personally think they add 10-20 pounds at least- just to scare us into doing better!)

I think they must have had both feet planted on my scale, but my eyes were so swollen I could not see them do it.

Short, to the point, honest; but, these bodies do often abuse us!

I am taking full blame after being on the scales at the doctor's office.
