Woman Struggles With Vanity

Diet always on my mind…
When in bed, in bathroom, 
When taking showers
When in the gym, in sauna, swimming pool;

When looking in a mirror
Taking pictures with my cell…
Comparing myself to other women…
And so on and so forth…

Then good intentions leave me
When I enter my walk-in frig…
I give myself a brake…
Another solemn promise:

‘I ATE, I EAT
And do so in a future!!!
No Regrets and Self-Recriminations!!!
Hell with Diet!!!’
