Excess skin

I think this picture is funny. It's on Instagram under Trophy Wife Barbie. There are a few pictures on the page but most are not suitable for general viewing. It does make me wonder, whether I'd have an issue with excess skin, when (if?) I ever manage to lose all my excess weight. I don't think so, but until I do I won't know! Is this excuse enough to stay fat?? Ha ha

As part of my holistic health kick I've been training my brain...I'm learning French! I found a great free app and I'm loving it. I practise every day and I even think it's working (learning French that is - I'm not saying my brain is any younger or brighter). Tu es un chat. Brilliant lol.

So, the other night I couldn't sleep. Then suddenly the words to a poem swam into my head. Don't worry - this is very normal for me. It's when I do all my best work. I've written a dozen books, in my head that is, during the dead of night. Anyway, after reciting it several times I had to get up and find a pen and paper so I could write it down, then go to sleep lol. It's been ages since I posted a poem so here it is. Hope you like it??



I see your face, and I just sigh.
Don't want to look, of course I lie.

You stand so near, I can smell your skin
It's been so long, where do I begin?

It must be years since you mattered most
And now it's like I've seen a ghost.

I remember how you broke my heart
My life, right then, was blown apart.

A single tear rolls down my face
You left me, went, without a trace.

Memories folded, locked away
To leak right out, now, today.

I catch them quick, and squeeze them tight
I'll never let them reach the light.

I vow I'll never speak your name
You're out of my life, yes once again.


If nothing goes right, turn left.
