Although, I need to start living these things and not just reading them. I used to have motivation but I seem to have lost it. With lap-band surgery coming up in a few months, it is time to get on the BALL!
Reversing It
I will always be fat
And I refuse to believe that
I can lose this weight
I do
I realize that isn’t the way most people think but
“Eating to live instead of living to eat”
That’s just not working out, and I truly believe
Eating what I want will make me happier in the end
It’s just a big fat lie, thinking
Being fit is the most important thing in my life
Now I understand that
Making myself happy with food
Is more important than
Making myself healthy with food
And this much is true:
People are succeeding at losing weight every day
But I know in my heart this will not be the case for me
This could wind up killing me
Doctors tell me
I will shorten my life and steal time away from my family
Right now it doesn’t seem possible that
I can change my ways and be fit for the rest of my life
This is what I believe:
This journey is just too tough for me
I don’t want to even consider the fact that
I can control the causes of my shortcomings and my failings
It’s just a fact of life that
People like me are weak-willed and lazy
And it’s ridiculous to believe that
I will lose weight and be healthy
That’s how I used to think; then I chose to reverse it (read from the bottom up).

Holy smokes....I read it both up and down and what a cool motivational poem. Thanks. I've been having an unsuccessful battle with Nutella and a sleeve of Ritz Crackers (trying to convince myself that it wasn't that bad becasue they were LOW FAT crackers!!!! hahahah.
Wow, I think that is SO cleverly written! Thank you for sharing it! I seem to have days where I feel pretty positive that both ways are true depending on my mood.:)
