Mama's Poem



 

Big and fat

Fatty! Thunder legs! Big girl! You will never be skinny! Stop eating so much! Have you looked at yourself? You could never do that!

This is my story. When I was little, all I heard is, "you are big and fat. Nobody wants you or loves you." I always felt lonely and that nobody ever wanted me.

Every time I went out to eat with my parents, my dad would always look at me in disgust and he would tell my mom that it was her fault because she was the one letting me eat all that food.

By the sixth grade, I was tired of it. I was going to show everybody that I could do it and I was going to look good by the time I went back to school.

When I was trying to loose weight, it started out normal. I would not eat junk food and I would eat all the healthy foods like salad and apples and a lot of fruits and vegetables.

As the days passed, I started losing weight and looking good. I was exercising and I was in shape. The feeling you get when you know that you have done something all by yourself is the best feeling in the whole world.

By the middle of the 8th grade, I was getting really skinny and people were asking me how I lost all that weight and it felt good. So I kept working out and eating small amounts of food. I was 115 pounds.

I asked my mom to start the treadmill for me and I got on and started to run. After I was done, I started screaming, yelling, and cursing because my mom had put it on the wrong workout and I did not burn off the right amount of calories. That is when I realized that I was really sick....
