When you lose a
Hundred and Forty Pounds
And get a massive Hernia repaired
Because you
Are on a strict diet
And exercise 5-days a week
You start to notice
Amazing changes.You wake up feeling refreshed
And energized
Every day.You can climb stairs easier
And rarely feel
Out of breath.

You feel more confident, alert and
Awake.

Your intense back pain turns into
A barely noticeable murmur.

You leave your house and
Socialize more.

You don’t need to worry about
Sitting down in a rickety chair.

Your scale no longer
Gets an error message.

You notice that people
Treat you better

You enjoy exercise and
Hard work.

Your blood pressure drops
And your heart stops
Racing.

You notice muscles
In places that were once
Marshmallow.

You forget what Chocolate Cake
Tastes like
And you don’t care.

You get phone numbers at
Bars from people you just
Met.

You remember what it feels like
To kiss someone again.

You look in the mirror and
Barely recognize
Yourself.

You feel like an entirely new person
Where you are
Treated better
Feel better and
Breathe easier,

All
Made possible
Through
Determination
Motivation…

And a few less
Cupcakes.
