Being over a healthy weight, means you are obese. If you are obese to the point of it infringing upon your life, you are morbidly obese. In any sense of the whole matter, obesity is a monster. When you are obese, it takes more than a strength you can imagine to turn the ship around. It takes a power of body and soul together.. it takes such determination that many times help is needed because it can be a matter of life or death.
So what this poem means is this, if you do not tap into the strength needed to become healthy or fit, it could very well kill you, and if it doesn’t kill you, you will be stronger having succeeded.
WHAT MADE YOU STRONGER
Just a simple thing to choose,
more than weight that one should lose.
Life on the line, shouldn’t be your fate,
Almost dying because of weight.
'Twas appropriate to slim her down,
If she wished to stay around,
Never a better day to start,
to have a happier healthy heart.
Food was never the enemy,
But depression, loss, and poverty.
Hopelessness makes it hard to eat,
A salad than fries and chips for treat.
Hardship also lends a hand,
to the jobless, homeless, desperate man.
And the comfort of a honeybun,
No one could only have just one.
But now a lifeline is ultimately thrown,
You could not do it on your own,
You find yourself despising you,
The yo-yo fails of your pursuit.
Now you're a survivor regardless to
The measure taken to rescue you,
You'll now live out these words much longer.
What didn’t kill you, has made you stronger.
