As I get older
I realize
some foods are bad
and reside on my thighs
Yummy doughnuts
and similar fare
end up in my hands
and I refuse to share
So I’m working on a plan
to again be thin
and if I follow my rules
I know I can win!
Chocolate, chocolate
you dirty whore
I shall not eat you
anymore…
Remember that cheese
salsa and chips
pass from my mouth
straight to my hips
I will avoid them
no matter what
because I don’t want them attached
to my bodacious butt
But I stop and I wonder
should I really live this way?
Monitor all food
and be miserable everyday?
The answer is, “No!”
I love to eat
fruit and veggies
and even meat
And junk food is fine
in moderation
and I will learn to manage
my greatest temptations
I can indulge now and then
but still be true to myself
and take responsibility
for my own personal health
I sit and I laugh
as I realize
I love my body…
I’m the perfect size!
So what if my hips
are a little bit wide
and my boobs are too big
to cover and hide?
I’ve got long, sexy legs
and a gorgeous smile
so I’ll forget about my weight
and just be ME for a while!

Martha, you have the right philosophy! Two books that you might like are: French Women Don't Get Fat and French Women for All Seasons by Mireille Guiliano. She talks about how it's important to enjoy the foods you eat, with, of course, moderation.
I actually read some excerpts from French Women Don't Get Fat and I liked it. I was in a goofy mood this afternoon at work--we've got a big survey going on--and I ended up eating a little too much chocolate to deal with the stress. Eeeek!
Bad...poetry...much worse than junk food. ;-)

Hey! Don't knock my bad poetry! At least I didn't post a video of myself singing or something!
