This probably tells you more about me than anything else!!
I could blame it on Christmas and Covid maybe,
But to tell the truth – its all down to me,
I brought lovely things to eat from the store,
And then I went back and brought a lot more.
So that horrible word which means losing weight,
I can’t say it out loud but it starts from this date!
I try not to look in the windows we pass,
I’m sure by the way that its magnified glass.
I used to be slender – I weighed seven stone,
Now that’s the weight of my leg – on its own!
Men used to look over this slim frame of mine,
Now they don’t bother – it takes too much time.
I can still remember that lovely day when
I could put on a thong and find it again,
My bras were once sexy with tassels to twiddle
Now I buy them from Aldi – that aisle down the middle.
The only scales I once bothered about
Were those to be found on the side of a trout.
And so I will do it though it brings me sorrow,
I’m going to diet – starting tomorrow!
