Mirror, Mirror On the Wall

 Image result for fat person looking in mirror

I've been on a diet and I lost a little weight.
Family and friends have told me that I'm looking great.
I appreciate their compliments but can't agree...
Bathroom mirror tells a very different tale to me.

Numbers on the bathroom scale say I've lost 60 pounds
But the mirror still reflects the way my belly rounds
Into folds of flab and fat - a sad and saggy gut...
'though I will admit I'm not as wide around the butt.

I'm not sure how bad things were; tried not to look before.
Now I wonder how I got my fat ass through the door.
I may not be happy - yet - with what the mirror shows
But, at last, I don't need one of them to see my toes.
