My life is told in numbers,
The story of calories that manage to slide past hesitating lips,
A grand journey of ever lowering amounts on scales,
My journal of undesired fat on thighs and cuts on hips,
A diary of daily painful exercise,
Many bottles of water taken in hunger killing sips,
However no matter the number I remain never good enough.

My life is told in numbers,
The story of calories that manage to slide past hesitating lips,
A grand journey of ever lowering amounts on scales,
My journal of undesired fat on thighs and cuts on hips,
A diary of daily painful exercise,
Many bottles of water taken in hunger killing sips,
However no matter the number I remain never good enough.
