When I Am Feeling Sad
When I Am Feeling Sad
When the bills come. When bad news breaks. When I’m feeling sad.
I simply start eating my favorite things. And then I don’t feel so bad.
I eat cheesecake and some doughnuts. Next its time for flan.
Peanut butter cookies, hot fudge sundae with whipped cream.
I eat many things.
When my heart aches. When I’m lonely. When I’m feeling down.
I sometimes start drinking my favorite things. And then I don’t feel so bad.
I drink: milk shakes. Diet coke float. Ginger with eggnog.
If still feeling sadly, I sit down and eat: a half-gallon of mint ice cream.
I eat chocolates, some with cashews, almonds or pecans.
If that doesn’t do it, I just eat more things until I don’t feel sad.
Calorie counting and meal planning do not seem to help!
My exercise buddy just threw in the towel. So, now I’m feeling sad.
It’s time to start eating my favorite things; I hope I won’t feel bad.
