I'Ll Diet Tomorrow

Hanging clothes on your exercise bike, driving to the corner store Taking the elevator up one floor, snacking while watching TV evermore. Eating ice cream out of the carton, overloading the dinner plate Eating sweets and drinking sodas, always wanting to exercise just a little more? I'll diet tomorrow. Hospital appointment and you get examined by a young nurse half your age. The dreaded words take off your shirt-no sucking in the belly flab now. Your fat and exposed and somewhat embarrassed. The room is cold and your sitting fat and old. Professionalism is not to comment on the subject at hand. She's done and you race to put on your shirt blaming the coolness of the room. The doctor comes in and reminds you that even losing a few pounds will be beneficial. On the way home you stop by a fast food drive through and order a mega size meal for lunch with the big BIG soda. Driving home sucking up that bubbly sensation of sweet sinful satisfaction you make a mental note to self. I'll diet tomorrow.
