Esther’s Writing Prompts

I hate to admit it, but the first thought the word shapes popped into my mind was bodies. Ever since I was told my 155 pound body was too big, I tried to fight to get down to my high school weight of 120. I was always the skinny kid and entered high school at 80 pounds. Then I grew up and out and ended up at 120, normal weight for my skeleton. Then pressure to get back down to 125 was a goal after three babies under five, accomplished with a 300 calorie a day strict diet, ketones in urine check at a facility every day, etc. At that time people observed my body saying I was too thin. The fight was never ending. The extreme weight loss accomplished with that diet, walking three to five miles every day after always standing at my job from 6:30 to 3:30, aerobics, yoga, etc. My point here is that body shape is not just what you eat, exercise, etc but inheritance also. I have the duplicate shape of my mother. Maybe AI really is the answer. A perfect body shape no longer required.

  1. I had the opposite problem…………. too heavy by school standards even though I wasn’t overweight as such.
    One PE teacher was forever picking on me which made things worse. After leaving school in ’72. I was walking between 3 and 5 miles a day to bus stops to get to work. I lost so much weight, I dropped from a size 18 to 10 in about six months. Ladies clothes sizes are a joke now. I have no idea what size I am and wear men’s joggers and tees as they are more generous and longer.

    1. I agree on the size thing. Since I’ve been in a wheelchair many years my weight varies about five pounds all the time. I wear vneck shirts and sweaters – no buttons,and leggings. I tried reg pants and they get caught in the wheels. Leggings don’t! At my age I think what the hell😄🤪
