Got Fat by KitKatrina

As I get closer to the weight I want to be,
My goal gets further away from me,
I start to lose hope, but gain it back,
So then I take a seat and begin to relax.

I feel like I'm doing great and eating right,
Then I started to slip and I lost sight,
My hope started to fade once again,
I don't want this good feeling to already end.

It has been this way for a week almost,
So to my friends, I cannot boast,
I lost 25 pounds before and told everyone,
But nothing has changed and I'm not done.
All my sisters and friends weigh about 115,
They are all so beautiful and all so lean,
I feel out of place with all them surrounding me,
Why can't the devil just let me be?

He's bringing me down to where I want to die,
I'm telling you this because it is not a lie,
All my friends started calling me fat,
So I said, "NO" and that was that.

I still need help because I still wish to die,
I pray to God but he doesn't reply,
I have no friends to turn to and my dad just died,
I feel like I've given it my all and really tried.

I need to get my hope back and stick it through,
Even though I'm still not sure what to do,
If you feel like this you're not alone,
As you read this poem I think it's shown.

Have faith in yourself because that's all you can do,
You are not alone because I'm with you too,
Give it your all and don't you ever quit,
This is our chance, this is IT!

HI
wow, i know exactly how you feel! i am a 5"8 15 year old female who used to weigh up to 225 pounds! I felt so gross and inwanted. I tried jenny creig, weightwatchers, low fat diet, slim fast, and many more. Shure i would loose pounds only to gain them back. This summer i was sick of feeling the way i did and looking like a hippo. No one belived me when i said i weighed that much because i didnt look it. But i felt it. Now i am on the Adkins diet and i have never been happier. My chest used to be huge and it is slowly goind down along with my stomach. I feel great and now i can actually tell people that i think i am pritty. And i can tell the story. if anyone ever needs help or somone to talk to i will always be here. Go to the dreamers Reality forum and private message me. Thanks for posting this awsome poem! Great work!

thank you so much!
Yeah, I know how you feel as well. I tried all that too, but the best for me was just cutting out carbs, not eating after six and exercising often! Just in case anyone can't find a good diet! And also swimming for like 30 min. a day or every other day is a GREAT exercise! This lady was eating like she had always, and just swam all the time, and she lost 30lbs in like 2 months I think!

very good
ok i am at the same place and i have tried reaching the point where i think it ok God did not make no junk and no matter what i look like in the end it just matters that i know God loves me and i have complete faith that when the time comes i will be able to lose weight it has been a struggle all my life and i hate myself so much and can't get past that i am fat and can't do anythig and never will bring any thing for anybody.
