Weighty Worries

Those endless talks of giving the fat a trim Beauty is now the monopoly of the slim! Sinuous and slender The hourglass figure The thinner, the better. Dieting and slimming down tricks ofcourse selling like hot cakes Tis a pity, I can't eat to my heart's content and desire for rounded figures they no longer admire. But as long as scrumptious samosas keep frying in pans and delicious pizzas keep baking in 'em' ovens it'd be hard to keep the damned calorie count or to live in fear of the expanding waistline mount. Ah those mouth- watering deep-fried kebabs are entirely to blame for my yo-yo dieting! Gosh to cut down on cheese and butter slab is one tough way to get rid of body flab. This war against weight is weighing upon my mind instead of being simply plump and straight I gotta maintain teen contours and curves I find! You do know this is a war you've got to be winning. It's those extra pounds and not the war you have to be losing. Or the other skinny lasses will be staring grinning. Ah but all young ladies must as well beware dragoness Anorexia's engulfing lair or how her crony Bulimia too can ensnare! So pals better be about ill- health precautious rather than being overly so weight-conscious. :)

Hi, there, what an engaging poem for me to find here. I am always into food and fitness poetry and I enjoyed this one. I have written so often about food, inglorious food!! I don't know your age, but wait till you hit your 50's. I decreased my calories to 1,600 calories a day and STILL I cannot lose weight.
