Visible Grief
Lord, I have spent too much time looking out from
within a glass goblet.
It’s usually filled with something cold, creamy and drizzled with chocolate.
Yes, I admit an addiction to the sweet stuff –
It “helps” to fill the lonely, sad, painful parts of me…
for about…a minute.
No one comments, Lord. Why would they?
No one is going to ask the obvious question, “Have you put on weight?”
That would have disaster written all over it.
But I have…and “weigh” too much.
There is no excuse for not taking care of my body temple.
The only thing I can say is that it is an outward sign
of my internal grief and struggles.
God, please fix it…take the spoon out of my mouth!
You are my comfort. Please teach me that I don’t need to feed an addition,
even for a minute.
I don’t want to wear my sorrow and problems.
I want those to remain on the inside between You and me.
I trust that in Your perfect timing and in Your perfect way,
You will make me whole again.

| know this - u are a beautiful person on the inside, i can tell from your writing. It is hard, but push aside the ignorance of foolish peoples and know that they are the only ones who truely care of appearance. Also know that the choices you make are yours and your a strong person --- a great poem none the less and i would gladly read on. |

This is going to sound harsh perhaps, but I feel I need to be honest here. God won't stop you comfort eating. Sympathy won't stop you comfort eating. Polite lies won't stop you comfort eating. The only person that can stop you comfort eating is you. It requires taking responsibility for your actions and for your body. I confess to not having a great amount of sympathy for people who are overweight and if that sounds heartless then fine, I'm just being honest. You can do something about your weight. It need not be an issue. Don't give people another stick to beat you with! We've all been depressed, we've all had our lives torn apart. You just have to dust yourself off and march on into the sunlight. Optimism beats fatty food any day.
Again, I apologise if I come across as a moron. I just don't believe you can help people with politeness.
-Phil
