My Diet

I am on a diet you know
This was my resolution
I stopped eating sweets
And  threw away my chips

I’m eating more veggies
I substituted water for sodas
No more fast foods or pastry
I take walks that last hours

I weight myself today 
I gained two pounds
I was so depressed
But soda and chips 

made me feel better.

it's ironic that I am eating carrot sticks while reading this one.
