Opinion

Five months later,
63 pounds less.
Don’t lose a pound more
They all cry.

But I see me naked.
Still puffy and plump
In places that should be
Firm.

Doctors and nutritionists
Wiser than I,
Wiser than They,
Say 25 pounds more

Why should They
Benefit
By stalling my success?

What do they gain?
Lowered standard.
Defeated friend.
Assuaged conscience.

I rebuke the fear of
Work, sweat
Soreness
Time

I receive the gift of
Productivity, Respect
Freedom
Health
