I stand at 5’2” and 97lbs
Every time I step on the scale nothing changes
My diet of Iced Caramel Macchiatos and various hot chips seems to make no difference
I know that I’m starving myself, my body is receiving no nutrients
Just two pounds lighter and I'll finally be happy
To everyone else I have the perfect body,
but by what standard of beauty.
All I can see is this stomach pouch choosing to be stubborn
Completely unaware of my own persistence.
Just two pounds lighter and I’ll finally be happy
Kiya tries to feed me,
I reject the french toast and eggs
Turning my head as the full fork nears my unwilling mouth
Two pounds lighter and I’ll finally be happy
Two pounds lighter
and I’ll finally be the beautiful daughter my mother wanted
minus the belly fat pinching and sarcastic comments.
I know what to eat to keep the weight off
Kiya offers to work out with me
“Do it the healthy way”
What does that even mean?
Eat less
the only way my mother taught me.
It’s just two more pounds after all.
