I don't want that to be in my mirror

I didn't know who she was, where she came from, who her family was, what she had gone through in her life, ..... I didn't even know her name. As I ate a greasy 480 calorie slice of pizza I saw her across the Pizza Hut. She was sitting alone, filling almost the entire booth, she had the saddest look on her face almost as if to cry out to me with her eyes,"help me". As she got up I sat munching on my second piece of pizza and then I realized that woman struggling so hard to get out of that booth, that woman who is struggling so hard to breathe as she walks to the door.......food had taken her hostage, she had no way out and it turned into the saddest moment of my life watching her struggle. I love food and I know she loved it too.... I didn't want to be her I didn't want something I loved to trap me, slowly killing me like a boa, most of all I didn't want that to be me in the mirror.




The Pizza Hut lady inspired me to do better for myself. I hope one day she finds inspiration too and can overcome her life long affair with food. Thank you Pizza Hut lady.
