Notes About The Poem

Diet Dilemma

Dreadful diet
But I'll deny it
I’m a hypocrite
One banana split
Won’t hurt a bit
But as I go to sit
My jeans seams split
I’m not proud of it


Healthy diet
I will try it
Must grill it
Not fry it
Buy gym kit
I must commit
And not quit
Lose weight… quite a bit
Now my clothes fit
I’m proud of it!

Jennifer Proxenos August 13, 2021 at 11:52 AM I'm a real yoyo, up and down, greasy foods, salad days, thin or plump, the last couple of months I'm on salad days, but oh my gosh, yearned for a pizza tonight and broke my three month diet, my husband was pleased, he said he was beginning to feel like a rabbit! Fun poetry my friend. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer. Jennifer.

Terry Flood August 9, 2021 at 5:27 PM Ha Ha... I’ve got this all figured. I cut down until people say I look ill then I gradually go up until I decide I’m too big... then I start over. My clothes always fit... perhaps because in my wardrobe I have jeans in 32, 34 and 36 inch waist. Good luck in contest, Jan. Terry.

Mystic Rose Rose August 9, 2021 at 3:43 PM Ah, I only know Marmite by watching the comedian, when he serves it with toothpicks, I feel diet never work, I rather eat less but dam it, eat it I will, lol thanks Jan, have a blessed day :) Jan Allison August 9, 2021 at 4:11 PM Got to say I adore Marmite as does my son, but hubby doesn't eat it:-) hugs Jan xx

Tom Cunningham August 9, 2021 at 1:21 PM A moment on the lips a lifetime on the hips, lockdown hasn't helped Jan with comfort eating. It's so depressing when you try on old clothes and you think they've shrunk, thats my excuse anyway lol Good luck in the contest.
