Thin Vignette

Thin Vignette

Skinny Minnie?  Not yet!
Want to be one?  You bet!
Are you starving, full of fret?
Want to give up at onset?

Publish goals in a gazette.
Tell yourself you’ll not regret.

Never worry; never fret.
Choice of foods can be reset.
Meat? Eggs? Proteins? Mindset –
Watch proportions; Ready! Set!

Soon, pounds fly like a fanjet!
Keep on going! Don’t stop yet!

Put your thinking on reset.
Seek and join a “cool” quartet.
Go outside and play croquette.
Make new friends; do not typeset.

Never give up! Ready, set –
Win your prize; there dies regret.  

You can be a health cadet.
Eat three meals before sunset.
Healthy treat between each set.
See how skinny you will get.

When you're in the “Thin Vignette”,
Use a straw not a pipette.
 

DEDICATED to my health guru whose name I shall publish, with permission, after I loose my first 40 pounds!
Thank you, you know who!  SMILES!

We're anxiously awaiting the name of your guru, Dane Ann. I love the monorhyme form and the line about the health cadet made me laugh out loud -- as you already know. Very witty approach to a healthier lifestyle. Keep smiling, my friend. Love, Carolyn

May your new attitude toward life and food bring you much success in the conquest to a healtier body...I have fought the battle of the bulge all my life and it is now winning...Keep the creative pen flowing..Sara
