Fighting Food
Food was always troublesome
I never had a favorite
My portions had to be smaller than theirs
This body needed to be thinner
Food became a chore
I could barely get the energy to cook
My portions kept decreasing
This body was getting thinner
People noticed this
I heard joy in their voice
My body had been too big before
This body was more successful
People congratulated and applauded me
I had done so well
My body was still decreasing
This was what they wanted for me
Stories of success
I joined the list
My weight decreased twenty pounds in two months
This was miraculous to them
Stories of concern
I didn’t belong there
My body wasn’t tiny to start
This is only a disease when you’re ribs stick out
