Diet

We all like to eat,

But it is our defeat.

Some good old snack

In a big size pack.

The peeling on the banana ~

Will even cause a clamor.

Some morsel of tasty food ~

That would be so good.

It seems the time will never pass ~

Until you can cook that bass.

A saltine cracker to eat ~

Would be such a treat.

You get the picture I am sure ~

It takes effort to endure.

You can't treat yourself now ~

With a steak from the cow.

What will it take this habit to break,

And not want a chocolate cake.

Do you think exercise will do ~

When all I want to do is chew?

It will take a lot of time ~

To make up my mind.

I must lose these pounds ~

I know how that sounds.

Easy to say ~

Hard to live that way.

Carelessness has caused a mess ~

Now I don't fit my dress.

I may never be slim ~

The possibility seems dim.

Fat free is not sugar free,

And sugar free has fat you see.

So this is like a long joinery ~

Hope I don't end up on a gurney.

Can you relate to this situation ~

And the awful need for dedication?

We must all think of God's glory,

And that will change the story!
