Some of my reasons for losing weight
Written April 2001
From the moment I wake
I think about what food i'm going to make
How many calories will pass my lips
or today on the web can I find any new tips
To help me stick to this very hard task
as i've not done too well these few weeks that have passed
I so long to be slim
to be that size 10 and trim
I have so many reasons for doing this
so much I used to do that I now miss
My self confidence is at an all time low
with carrying an extra 2 stone
I long for the days when I wore a size 8 skirt
they were the days that I did flirt
Not now these days I hide behind baggy clothes
with only myself to blame I suppose

I live just a 10 minute walk from the beach
not far at all to reach
my little girl loves to go there and play
if I were slim we could go every day
I feel so awkward in trousers and t.shirt
I should be wearing a bikini with an open shirt
When all the other kids are in the sea
i'm making excuses why we can't it's selfish of me

She want's me to teach her to swim
I think to myself not yet, wait until i'm slim
I used to go dancing every weekend
to reggae music you know that's when you bend
your legs and hips you wind and grind
it's very good exercise you'll find
and once or twice a week to classes for body conditioning
I wish I hadn't I now find myself wishing
Because to become that size 10 look at the price I paid
for a long time after every day on my back I laid
I gave myself a slipped disc
it's the dancing that I really really miss
My friend that I used to go to dances with wants to go again
I'd like to go and try, to ignore the pain
But i've got to lose weight
before i'll go out again with my mate

I have so many nice clothes to wear
some of them would mean a little bit of flesh i'd have to bare
The thought of it now gets me very down
and on my face a frown
My nephew Ross will be 13 in September
I think back 2 years to when his brother was and remember
To his party I had to go
not feeling very good about myself, oh no
But this year it's going to a be different story
there is going to be a lot less not more of me
I shall wear a little black dress
not like last time when I felt a mess
Even the Rabbi will say 'Wow
who is that girl'
Hey, i'm the Bar Mitvah boys aunty
don't I look smart, ah

Another reason is to prove David wrong
'I don't believe you will do it, is always his song'
He is my little ones dad
he thinks my dieting is just a fad
The reason he is so negative about me losing weight
is for years he told me I was OK and looked great
Would I believe him, no heck I would
couldn't he see I had fat legs, listen to him I should
He encouraged me every time I tried
I didn't really lose weight and he couldn't understand why?
So now when I say i'm on a diet
he says 'Yes, Ruth be quiet'
We are still friends and it would be good
if once more he thought I looked OK, I wonder if he would?
When I look at photos of me then, he was right
I wasn't fat I was only 8.5 stone light
Now being a 10 stoner
i've got to do something about it or forever i'll be a loner

Right now I don't want to get close to anyone
so I spend all of my time being a mum
But I suppose deep down I would like to meet a man
and let him hug me close, not think no you can't but yes you can
|

So there you have it
some of my reasons to get fit
To wear as little as possible on hot summer days
show David I can do it, to be slim for him to be amazed
To go dancing again with my mate
have more confidence in myself for losing weight
For Ross to be proud of his aunty
at his Bar Mitvah party
and for Hannah who is my whole life
my reason for living
I want us to have more fun, to her i'll be more giving
|

It's taken a whole day to write this rhyme
when i've not been playing with Hannah and spending together time
It's done me the world of good
plus i've not had time to fill my face with food
I'm more determind than i've ever been
to lose weight now i'm so keen.
