Ruth's Weight Loss Poem Journals
RUTH'S WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY

site updated 19th March 2002

I created this site on the 15th June 2001
My journals date back to March when I started trying to lose weight

I did lose 14 lb during the summer but then gained it back.
 BUT now (19th March) I have lost 7 lbs and i'm back on my way

So come on this journey with me and see how I get on
ABOUT ME
written 15th June 2001

I like to eat anything savoury or sweet
cakes, chocolate or chinese goes down a treat
I haven't got a lot of will power within me
and I give up after two days or three

So I thought by going public for the whole world to see
would give me the incentive that I need

My current weight is 9 stone 7
 oh, to be 7 stone 9 would be heaven
For me that weight would be right
for my 5 foot 1 height

I'm a 33 year old single mum
 and being fat is stoping me from having fun
I live in Essex by the sea
with my 4 year old daughter who means everything to me

I've never been really really overweight
but 28 lb does not make me feel great
recently I have lost 7 lb
but it was difficult I found

When I was young I was a chubby
and never liked being a tubby
Though in my twentys I did look good
that was by eating the right food

But this is now and that was then
I had a 24 inch waist and was a size 10
Now my waist is a 28
I'm hoping for me it's not too late

I can't work due to back pain
so instead I get weight gain
5 years ago I had an operation
to remove the disc, a spinal fusion
I can't sit, stand or walk for too long
so too much exercise is wrong

This makes the weight loss very slow
it might take 6 months to go
I long to wear the clothes that I used to wear
at present I feel frumpy and sqaure

A STONE LOST SO FAR

1st August 2001

It's taken 5 months but who cares
I've lost a stone so more flesh i'm able to bare
Yes, tops that are tight
and they look alright

Trousers that are no longer a 16 in size
but more of a lose 14, i'll soon be pulling all the guys
Yes, losing weight has given me more confidence to get out there
hey, Ruth is here lets make them all aware!!!!

Now if I could just get my health up to scratch
not asking much it's not like I want to be able to play a football match
Just want to have at least 3 weeks in a row
without being ill or feeling low
Oh Dear!
1st January 2002
Ok so i've been so bad
and yes I must be mad
because I did look good
but now i've eaten way too much food

So on we go another year
and I am promising myself a new me will appear
So come on this journey with me
there are going to be some changes, just keeping coming back to see
19th March 2002
