My Imbalance Weight Poem by Tebogo Teddy

A slender
With a nice structured body.
Tall and glistening.
Comparison didn't occur.
A minute with a mirror felt like a sec.
Praises from within were endless.
I was immaculately perfect.

I lost track.
Ended up slacking.
I'd splurge on junk.
Indulging on binging,
As long as my face is stuffed I'd feel better.
The walks to the market to get more snacks were my exercises.
Netflix kept me in.
Couldn't even face the  mirror without being disappointed or mad.

Mental health Couldn't handle me.
I've already lost it,
I despaired.
So I binge more on junk.
More than 2500 calories a day.

Social media  brought me hope,
So I started giving in for a better cause.
Limited my  calorie intake,
Gym became my bestfriend,
Now we maintaining the weight.

Sometimes I feel like giving up,
But I can't,
Coz I've come too far to restart.
My weightloss journey has been a roller-coaster,
So I can't mess this up.
This is my life and my mental health and i'll maintain the two.
To stay healthy and sane has become my priority.
