Diet

It's not just eating right
and exercising more,
It is a complete mental change.

While my body struggles,
My mind screams;
A fight with the bathroom scale.

A will to improve:
Make my life better,
longer and more fullfilling.

Diet is a four-letter word,
Hissed and whispered and screamed,
a temporary change made permanent

No longer a diet
it is a life, my life,
to always be concious and aware.

That eating isn't a drug,
it's survival
and i am learning how to live.

One day at a time,
Hour by hour I succeed.
My heart joyful, my body less heavy,

Watch out, stay aware,
Soon you will see:
New, leaner, healthier... me.
