I used to be the skinny one, I couldn't find clothes to fit.

I didn't like many foods, no, not one bit.

Than one day it hit me, this food stuff was good!

So I ate and I ate, like nobody should.

The mirror, it lies!

Look at my size!

Upon further detection...

it was my reflection!

Where did the skinny girl go now?

I think I ate her, said the sow!

I am now such a mess....

but oh so determined to fit into a little black dress!

I know I can do it, I know I can.

Because you see, I am my biggest fan!

Not as good as the other poetry, but I had to try after reading theirs! Thanks Stacey, glad you enjoyed it. Thanks Mariana!

I love how you've turned this around and waiting for that reward - the little black dress! Really outstanding look inside of yourself. Thanks! Salud

Thanks Marianna, I had fun with that one. Even if I called myself a sow!

Being your biggest fan, I bet you really can. This is a cute poem and a fun romp about getting larger than you were and how to undo it. Put a smile on my face. I want one of those little black dresses too.

Chris, this is great!

Thanks Bridget and Lynn. Can't wait to get that little black dress. Thank you everyone for your kind words about my "poem". My brother and my kids loved it, and my hubby just said "You are NOT a sow". Maybe he wanted to substitute cow? LOL

This is great! I think you should reward yourself with that little black dress when you meet your goal!
Mariana T. Jan 30, 2009, 11:29am EST
Sue* I absolutely think so - now, we need Chris L. to design that dress and tell us her size. Salud

Well, I was busting in a 14, not really busting, but comfortable, but I dug out my 12's and that's what I'm wearing now.

I used to be the skinny girl too and I will be again!

Chris L Feb 1, 2009, 3:15pm EST
I'm getting there! Denise, I want to be that skinny girl again!
