A Letter To The Fat ME! (A poem by yours truly!)

Writing poems is another pastime of mine..I have been really wanting to write a poem about my weight loss and boy oh boy I didn't realize how quickly emotions can flow when I got out a pencil! I wrote this seriously in 15 minutes because my feelings just poured out. Hope you enjoy!! Would love feedback!!


Dear Fat Me, 

I bet you never thought it'd be time for you to go.
But I'm here to tell you that this is so.
We've spent a lifetime here together,
and now our relationship must sever.
You have taught me many lessons over the years,
and have also made me cry many tears.
You have slowed me down,
held me back, and made me cry.
Your fat wings made it hard for me to FLY!
You have controlled me and blinded my vision.
Your control on my self confidence has led to many bad decisions.
You made me think having you around was okay
because I had a pretty face.
Today, I'm telling you that this is no longer the case.
They say, "Love Is Blind"
Isn't that the truth?
Yea I loved you...
Until I realized I could do better WITHOUT you!
You put me at risk for hypertension, stroke, and diabetes.
We would REALLY be fighting if I got one of these.
I'm blessed to say, you couldn't bring me that low.
Now before you think you can fight back,
I'm telling you this:
YOU GOT-TA-GO!
But I know your kind...
You're gonna try to fight.
Attack me with the munchies in the middle of the night.
See what YOU don't realize
is I have God with me at all hours.
OH...
and a little thing called WILLPOWER!
Me and my army?
HA!
Think again Ms. Fat Me.
Get to steppin' & don't look back!!
You are no longer my friend...
Don't let the door kick you in the rear end!!!
