An Unusual New Year's Resolve

There once was a woman that was very fat!
Her diet resolves, I fear,
Broken each and every year.
Until she put something new under her hat –
It was her food; now, what do you think of that?

I am fat...and I have something new under my hat this year, but it isn't food! It is knowlege that I learned from the Six Week Body Makeover. Wish me luck!
