I get into these cycles with my weight,
always feeling like I'm starting a diet too late.
Will I feel comfortable in a bikini by summer?
If I can't wear one, that'd be a bummer.
The vicious battle continues, it's a battle I truly hate.

Great use of the limerick and media pressure makes us think we are all overweight. It is good to be comfortable in your own body. If you are on Facebook please join us in the Vocal Social Society
