Two emotions that came from being Fat all my life....



Recommended Posts

With Me

The Fat Fairie

tricked me

she told me

she'd be

My friend

My family

My love

so sweet....

The Fat Fairie

she left me

with all of her lies...

Wear black,

Wear heels,

Wear no stripes to the side.

The Fat Fairie

she's sly...

She's living

rent free.

She built an

addition...

She's living

with me.

Don't Feel Sorry For Me

Don't feel sorry for me.

Don't look my way and think to yourself

"She's so pretty...if only

she could lose some weight".

I know it's a touchy subject

but I don't care.

I am full of life

and love to share.

Maybe it's my private shield,

usually people don't enter

who are not for real.

Sometimes it can give

me the ede.

I'm friends with some

who might have been

intimidated instead.

I've been up and I've been down.

It has been a merry-go-round.

I've felt the sting

of judging eyes.

I've been embarrassed

I have cried.

But I've also found

that I can be.

All that matters

all I need.

I can star in passion's play,

I am free...

I'm not afraid.

Can any of you relate?????

I am so glad to have Hope with this Band......

Nancy

Thanks - I used to perform these (in fact I wrote them to perform) and the audience would always love them.....

It took guts - but you guys know - that inside I still wished I wasn't fighting the fat fairy in the first place.

You know how it is.....

Those are both great Nancy. The second one really resonates with me. Thanks for sharing your poetry with us!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
