I met you several years ago
When I was very overweight
I wasn’t very confident
But meeting you was fate.
I didn’t really think that I
Could have any success
My personal life was horrible
I felt like such a mess.
You were very encouraging
You told me I should try
To set some small achievable goals
I had to walk before I could fly.
I kept coming to your meetings
Even when I felt bad
That I’d binged out of control
And didn’t use the tools I had.
Eventually I began to do the work
And the pounds started going away.
I also got rid of a bad situation.
Things were getting better, hooray!
Now I’m at a size I want to be
I truly am successful
I rarely turn to my binge eating
When my life is getting stressful.
I don’t know where I’d be
Without you on my side
I wouldn’t be able to look in the mirror
And feel such wonderful pride.
