Stuffed

I used to eat 'til I was stuffed
    never knew when I'd had enough
  Some folks called me roly-poly
    others found me gruff

  Now I'm satisfied with just a little
    which does wonders for my middle
  And did I mention my transformation
    from hostile to hospitable

Just don't check into a hospital. That's hospitable enough for me, anyway.

Gershon, you must be chuffed now you’re not carrying so much round the middle, and have gone from gruff to hot stuff… Belle
