A Resolution For Life
I lost at least twelve pounds in this past season.
Since turning sixty, I have made a goal
to get back to my old self. The reason
is that I hated that unholy roll
around my middle! Now it’s mostly gone.
However, I still want my old size ten.
So I will keep the diet I’ve been on,
but when I reach my goal, I won’t stop then!
I’ve vowed to eat less often things that use
so many additives. They are so bad.
I’m older! Better foods I need to choose.
Quite tasty ones these past few months I’ve had
while losing weight. I know it can be done.
But once a week I’ll cheat to keep it fun!
