I am Beautiful
even though I was...

Obsessed with dieting,
almost refusing to eat.
Counting every calorie,
I be damned if I cheat.

Weighing in the morn
and again at night.
If I had put on a pound,
coffee was my delight.

Water is all I drank
140 so ounces a day.
I was truly committed
to loosing the weight.

Cutting back
pushing my plate away
no starches, fried, or sweet food.

Skipping meals,
living on energy...
