Best Dieting Poems

This year my belly started to grow,
So my goal was lose ten pounds or so,
After no bread or ales,
I then stood on the scales -
There’s only fifteen more pounds to go....

After Dieting


Me, finally free
I’ve untied my hands
And let them explore
Greedily

Soft and rigid 
Hard and pliable
Textures and smoothness,  
Merge

Grabbing a succulent treat
My fingers  grip
The lurid wrapper
Twist

I shovel the chocolate devil
Through parted lips
Madness consume me

Dieting

sure enough
lost five pounds the first week
no money back
no money back the next 51 either
dr.slim getting rich

cold turkey
the only way to go on a diet
yes    says dr. slim
but put it between two slices of bread
and you’re screwed

the world
is full of starving people
so...

Supposedly the ideal woman's measurements

Used to be 36-32-36

That's no longer reality which the fashion industry

Is finally starting to acknowledge

We're starting to see ads with a little heavier models

Because a recent study showed

That 63% of Americans are overweight

I'm definitely within that majority

Although I'm doing something about...

Is yo-yo dieting always inevitable
Is it apart of who we all are
Sure wish there was some magic way
Really this is totally bizarre

Winter months are usually toughest
We pack on the extra pounds
Must get dedicated with spring's arrival
It's really getting me down

To keep the pounds from coming...

i cannot begin to say how grateful i am,
that you took me away to bring me back again,
what meant so much more that i could see,
was so conformed from reality,
it was a daze in a picture perfect world,
it was crumpets and donuts and it made...

What do I eat when I'm at the table.
I see lettuce, I see cheese and i see apples.
There are so many choices for me to make.
Its important for me to make the right one.
The best I can do is stop and think and realize that
I...

We're seeing ads with slightly heavier models

Dieting. .  How I wish my fat would go away,
But my love handles are here to stay
And so I just keep dieting. 

Torturous. . . Not an inch lost since it was begun.
No reward for all the work I’ve done.
Oh, dieting is torturous.
 
Why...

She counts her calories,
Reminders that even her hips
Can lie, as they lye quietly against
His leg, hesitant to breathe,
Soft as a kiss, yet longing to exhale,
Winds of respite from the calories,
Counted silently, amid 
Vegetables and fruits, some fiber
Proteins in hues of solid colors,
Like a gesture to...

The opposition calls like intuition,
from down the halls to the master's kitchen.

Her knees are rocking cheddar cheese blocks,
and when she walks you hear Pop Rocks.

Her eyes are made of ribeye steaks.
Her lips are whipped cream topped chocolate cakes.

Her cheeks are stuffing with a gravy blush.
Her...

Pounds! Pounds! Pounds!

Step on scale, gotta lose weight, 
Pounds, pounds, pounds.
Pound in new habits, eat right, run more
Run round, round, round.

Can’t wait, step on scale, 
Sure I’ve lost weight,
Pounds, pounds, pounds.

Step on scale, gained weight,
Pounds, pounds, pounds. 
Pound in new habits, eat right less, run...

The cheesecake in the bakery I want to devour,
dag-gone my crumbling willpower!
It's cherry topping so high,
makes me want to cry.
I walk on past the candy aisle,
and gaze at the cereal shelves awhile.
Euell Gibbon's "sticks and pebbles"
Grape Nuts brand-
that kind of breakfast I cannot stand.

Give me...

We tend to give a little more 
to the little ones.
Nonetheless,
it's not a matter of
belittlement.
The lesson in lessness,
is not a matter of nothing less 
nor nothing else
nor is it about starving to nothingness.
Nevertheless, it's more or less
about giving a little less in 
little bits of...

Struggles, starving to loss every pound
Wishing my pants would start to fall down
Weighing myself everyday
Hoping a pound has gone away

At the gym everyday
Exercising, sweating paving the way
Once again praying
Pounds are not staying

Standing on the scale
Dreading the weighing
Dreams of clothes fitting right
Hugging my body tight

Cookies, cake,...
