95 lbs. and overweight
I winced as I saw the number show up on the scale
It was the first time I had ever checked my weight
I was heavier than I thought.
The obsession started then.
Back at the party,
I didn’t eat anything the rest of the night.
In the days proceeding,
I passed on seconds
skipped breakfast,
Ate a minimal amount of food at school
And popcorn for dinner.
I cringed at my reflection
My thighs the size of tidal waves,
Rippling as I walked
My empty stomach looked as if
I just ate a large thanksgiving dinner
I weighed myself every day hoping to shed the pounds
The scale became my mood ring
too high, and my day was ruined.
It started the day
when my older sister called me fat.
this happened in middle school.. don't worry cause I'm totally fine now :)
