Did you know this truth? Weight, it’s a battle, a constant daily battle that takes time to adjust to. 🙂 It does. Society says one thing, doctors say other, and yet one’s body has it’s own thing to say as well. One’s heart and mind as well. Let’s explore that idea a bit eh?
Weight, it’s a battle
Weight, it’s a battle
not always seen but more
often felt deep within.
You see weight isn’t just
a physical thing, though
at times it very much is!
Too fat, too thin,
too boney, too well padded
even when it might be just right.
Doctors and websites and
various pundits will say a
person of this height should be “X”.
Without considering body type,
family history, work requirements
and mental health.
All these things bear weight you know?
Like sometimes even if the healthiest
weight isn’t attainable, the mental is.
And sometimes mental weight is what
makes the physical loss (or gain)
nigh on impossible.
So how do we bear the weight of
family, history, life, and more?
What makes that weight bearable?
For me… family matters. My physical
family and my spiritual one, reminding
me that I am more than what I seem.
What helps you to bear the weight,
that weight we gain from simply being,
people active in life?
Even when I hear “you’re so thin!” I still see the weight that others don’t see in my mirror. It’s the same with the weight of what we bear on our shoulders. It’s a constant battle to show my face happy and stress free when in reality, my stressors are heavy. Thank you for your post. (fmf#10)
i hope you find an ease for your stressors. It’s hard to bear them alone.
