THE NEW ME REALIZATION
by Labretta Goines Donegan

Since skinny done ran off and left me, I have a new life now, with my curves.

At first, I didn’t take too kindly to my curves wanting to be with me, but now,
my feelings are different.

It took me a while to get used to the idea because skinny had been with me
all my life and hung around for so long.

I just knew skinny would be with me forever, but I was sadly mistaken. I just
looked up one day, and poof, skinny was gone!

I still don’t understand why skinny left me. We looked so good together. And
skinny was so easy going. When skinny was with me, I could wear whatever
I wanted, and I could eat whatever I wanted.

You know what, now that I think about it, maybe it was my over-indulgence
of the ice cream, the cheesecake, and all that creamy pasta I would devour
that made skinny go away. Maybe I was just out of control and skinny
thought it would be best to take a bow and let someone else take the stage.
And that’s when, my curves made an entrance.

Now, my curves isn’t as easy going as skinny was when it comes to the
clothes I want to wear. My curves will not hesitate to brashly let me know
when I don’t look good in certain outfits.

And my curves will also constantly remind me to tighten up, so the next one
doesn’t creep in and steal me away like a thief in the night.

But I don’t think my curves will leave me like skinny did. I know my curves
love me. I can tell by the way my curves hug me, and I too, love to embrace
my curves!
