Only if eyes could talk, his grilling stare would have screamed the loudest.
She moved silently towards the area pointed with so much annoyance.
Her heart skipped a beat remembering last night.
It was just one last time she devoured & ventured out!
Hours & hours of grit looks gloomy now;
Is it all gone for good, by a whiff of ONE night?
She somehow reached the zone, eyes tight shut!
One step at a time.
Looking at him; her insides churn! OH GOD save me this time….
With BATED BREATH & fingers crossed – she climbed the weighing scale,
Trainer’s eyes gawking for the digits to shine.
Digits moved up; but saved her in nick of time…
‘Gulp some water & do 50 sit-ups! No more tarts & sweet pies.’
Next shoot is with ‘healthy living’; you must look bright!

Thank you Shilpa for reading, we are sailing in the same boat. Weighing scales are my worst fears.

For me its the opposite. I look at the weighing scale expecting it to be on a higher side, but alas! Liked the post, Dipika.
Hahah.. lucky you I would say then. Me & scale has a love hate relationship. Love for fewer times than could count on fingers;)
Very nicely done!Weight and a model’s life are always at logger heads.
