Dieting Poems

Temptation at its best when dieting

68 days Bonnie talked me into an oatmeal cookie

Dieting

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 be weighed
After the sins of swallowing whole,
Devouring meals of fats

Caloric Conundrum

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 a cupcake piled with frosting,
never mind, the "guilt calisthenics" 
afterwards

More Or Less

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 littleness,
in meager, measly morsels,
that just suffices
and leaves one
just less than

A Pound

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, your mouth is watering, your will is weak
Your tummy is

Warmer Climes

Old Frosty was a snowman
And how he loved that snow!
So crystalline, so pure and white;
Each year he’d grow and grow!

There are so many words for snow,
A winter lover's dream,
and all of them delectable,
especially with cream!

But Frosty isn’t happy
With life lived in the freeze;
He gazes in the mirror and
He likes not what he sees.

So Frosty took

Dieting

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.

Pounds, Pounds, Pounds

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 more, more.
Run round, round, round, round.

Can’t wait, step on scale,

Whipped Topping Grin

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 neck is a lamb chop, long and lush.

Her chest is

Yo-Yo Dieting

The supposedly ideal woman's measurements

Used to be 36-32-36

That's no longer reality which the fashion industry

It's finally starting to acknowledge

We're seeing ads with slightly heavier models

Because a recent study showed

That 63% of North Americans are overweight

I'm definitely within that majority

Although I'm doing something about it

Have been riding my exercise bike

For 20 minutes every day for the

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 says t.v.

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 me want to hurl,
it was way too gooey perfect, with

Dieting

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 can only chew as much as my mouth can handle.

Yo-Yo Dieting

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 back
Requires dedication and inner strength
