Back On the Wagon

Lately, I'm trying to diet There's a lot of pain in fitness All the tasty foods are taboo Tell me, can I get a witness? Standing on scales Saturday Was my motivation to try But without my chocolate sundae I don't know but that I might die! All the famous diet "Guru's" Cast shade on the foods that I love There's no way you can convince me Cheeseburgers are not from above! Not pushed, I jumped off the wagon Thinking, "I'm not really that fat!" I decided to leave it be I thought, "Yes I can live with that!" Then shortly there after I hear, Across the street in a wee voice "Hey mommy, look at that fat man!" So......back on the wagon's my choice!

Once again your humor is wonderful. Just curious, does that diet include beer because if not, forget it. : )

Hi Pat. I have a very high metabulism. I have been blessed to stay at the weight I``ve been at for a long time. It not easy to stay on a routine of losing weight. Motivation helps big time. Good luck my friend. Thanks for sharing this

No problem. I was like that too but things happen I guess. At the most I was up to 230. Now I'm at 205 so at six foot I guess that's not really too bad but the poems must go on. Know what I mean?!..............80)
