It’s Donut Day in the USA
Forget the dieting for today
Sugary and sweet
And rough on one’s teeth
For just one day don’t fret o’er decay....

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....

Whimsical beauties dancing, interlace their lives together.
Choreographing, rehearsing, and dieting collectively,
All so they can delight and entertain audiences with skill....

Ridiculous targets.

Recipes for weight loss
Resounding disaster 
Reach for more chocolate!
Rip up aims for next year
Realise they're futile!...

delicious delectable divinely dipped donuts
drizzled during denny’s delightful dinner
denny’s dieting daughter Denise deliberately discourages diners
devouring dipped donuts deemed disgusting
digging in delightfully is Denny’s demure daughter Debbie....

Some people moan that they are overweight
Attempt dieting but can’t shift it at any rate
I could have an underactive thyroid they may squawk…
But in reality
They suffer from an overactive knife and fork!

Holiday recipes created by others
Christmas dishes decorated in festive colors
Laden with sugar and salt sweet and sour
Where is my long-gone missing will power?

Any dieting I did before I left at the moors
When families meet, my appetite soars
Fattening foods and decorated tables outdo each other
An amusement for a professional cook, my grandmother...

Okay, I know what you are thinking
I should not even think about it
But damn it looks so good
You know I have been on a diet
Well, I know it too
But I am really hungry
And it looks very very tempting
Maybe just this once I will scarf it down
Just do not look at me like that
After dieting for one day I think I deserve it

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
A.D.

Egg, Nuts and Rock & Roll

Chicken eggs are not handy when it comes to cholesterol, 
Dieting is a waste of contributing, to satisfy his monster balls.
How many nuts can I crack in the palm of my hands?
Holding them one by one, until someone understands. 
Rock & Roll is good for my heart disease.
Holding off on eggs and nuts is such a tease!

My body loves me
And I love it
We're working hard
To keep us fit

We try to eat right
And excersize
Hoping a healty body
Will be the prize

I love my body
And it loves me
But sometimes
We do disagree

My body says
"Forget this dieting"
I say,  "No,
we gotta keep fighting"

As bodies go
You aren't so bad
Right now you're the best
I've ever had

But body dear
I must confess
I'd love you more
If you were less...

Commenced
as a tiny
egg glued to foliage.
Maturing  bondage in a shell
awaits

Larva.
Eating, growing,
full size caterpillar
outgrows its present confines.
Splitting

 Again.
Reattaching
itself with liquid from
its spinneret . Creating a
button.

hanging
little pupa
dieting, motionless,
metamorphosing completely
anew
 
Cracking,
exposing  head
and thorax first. Followed
by legs and golden wings of a
Monarch....

Foundation founded on;
Superficial societal stares..
Teenagers teary truth...
Of a perfect purging prayer...

Supermodels and stars...
On a pedastal of peers...
Engorging every entree...
Appauled at how they appear...

Succulently still unsatisifed...
Baking another bite...
Indulgence is imminent...
Famine is nil a fright...

Nauseated near spent...
Dieting with no drive...
Vomiting every morsel...
This is how I feel alive.......

Listen to poem:

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 starving,
but with a little more 
hunger within,
yet to be satisfied....

I once saw a video starring Lou Bega.
He was singing his release titled "Sweet Like Cola".
There, he danced with a pleasing plump brunette.
This kind of woman is one I would like to get.

Lou described her figure as a little "round".
However, he said he loved every pound.
Singing "stop your dieting 'cause you're so sexy".
With his description, I would wholeheartedly agree.

I am hoping for one long shot lucky break.
This is one type of woman I would like to take.
