Fat
Fat
Looking in the mirror is a nightmare
So many fat roles flapping around
I just can’t seem to loose enough
I want to make my husband proud
He says I am beautiful no matter what
I do not get where he sees that
No, matter what I always feel
Fat
Mom says I am built like my father
Not meant to be a size 0
I believe she is just saying that
So I will not feel so bad
Because even I know, I am
Fat
While I have lost fifty pounds
I believe I could afford to lose fifty pounds more.
At the least
Then I would be able to fit into
Something more flattering
Than what I usually wear
I know I am
Fat
I can help that
I will, I will
I have to keep my eye on the prize
Remembering that size
Zero
That is where I want to be.
Therefore, my husband can really be proud of me.
When I am not
Fat
Anymore
