The Weight Debate

 have such an urge to stand on the scales To pull it out of my wardrobeDust it offAnd sell my soul to the devilTo find out how much I should hate myself todayBecause that's the way it's always beenStand on the scales Measure my self worth in pounds and ounces See if the number is safe or unsafe Have a meltdown because I gained two poundsBut I won't I know better than to spoil a good thingTo weigh nowWould ruin everythingMy good mood My self esteemThat good feeling I have at the moment
I look at my sister She weighs herself regularly in my roomI often watch herShe stands on the scale Without so much as a whiff of ceremonyShe sees the numberProcesses whether she's lost or gained Absorbs the informationAnd then gets on with her dayShe doesn't give it another thoughtDoesn't let it effect her eatingDoesn't let it get to her in any wayI would give anything to be like thatTo not let those numbers matter
As much as I am temptedI won't weighNot today at leastI value my peace of mind too much 
I was wondering what your take is on weighingWhether you are still in the midst of your illnessOr embarking on recovery What is your view on weighing?Are you yay or nay?Do you think weighing is a good or bad idea and why?Does it effect you as much as it effects me?Do the numbers have power over you?I'd love to know....
