The Inside
The conversation at this table is common among many;
"Ugh, I can't believe I just ate all that food. I feel so fat!"
My friends respond with compliments, but I say
"Look inside yourself."
We've been trained to compliment;
We've been trained to think with our eyes.
The mirror only shows the outside, so
Look inside yourself.
An image that is set by media;
An image that we obsess over.
Stop the comparisons and start to really
Look inside yourself.
If I had the power to change one thing
I would take away the "Fat Talk," judgement,
And pressure to "fit" in, and encourage you to
Look inside yourself.
