Hunger Zone

For years I have fought And battled with weight Now disabled and in pain I fear it's too late I can't eat this I can't eat that Diets are fads They make me fat I've tried the patches They've taken my money No magical cure for My big fat tummy I wasn't always as big You should know It was having a baby That made me grow so I can't stick to the books For so much I don't like If I have to eat muck They can go take a hike I've tried the tablets But for me they don't suit Not eating sufficient The problems the root Try three meals a day Instead of just one A plate that's for sandwiches For lunch to put on I'm trying to lose Of second week I am now I'm not using scales Or measuring how I'm combining it all From the net I can find A menu that suits That does not blow the mind It's working quite well At the moment I know For in smaller trousers My belly will go I can fasten my blouse And the buttons don't gape My cleavage is shrinking There's ample to take If I continue to lose At this sensible rate My clothes will not fit And I'll drop all the weight But as third week approaches I begin to have doubts The weight tends to stable And I tend to drop out I need to stand firm In resolve and give time For my body to shape And bring back its waist-line A little encouragement Goes a long way And the poetry keeps The snacking at bay So if I seem busy With armfuls of writes Forgive me for starving off Hungers of life
