Slimming

I’ve never been the pretty girl.

I’ve always lingered in the back,

matching too perfectly with the

decoration.

 

I’ve never been the pretty girl.

I can’t do much.

There are a few things I can do though.

 

I can count how many calories are in one

single apple.

52.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away.

An apple a day keeps the cravings at bay.

An apple a day is my meal.. For the day.

 

I can concentrate real well.

I can focus on my goals.

I can focus on what I want to achieve with

no distractions.

I can focus on my dream, blocking out the

loud screams of my stomach.

 

I can be persistent.

I won’t let go until the deed is done.

I won’t give up.

I won’t get up, off my knees until

every last calorie has been flushed away.

 

I can be accountable.

I can acknowledge when I have gone wrong.

I can cut at the skin, hoping the fat will

seep out.

 

I’ve never been the pretty girl but

I could be the skinny one.
