Food addiction is a toughy
If not careful, your mouth you will stuffy
Then your tummy will be puffy
Maybe I've said enoughy.
But honestly, this addiction
Is not like others for restriction
One must eat or get sick then
Can't do with out it's selection.
The key to living with this beast
If refraining from the feast
Take you smaller portions, at least
Stay away from breads and yeast.
Caloric intake must be met
With good exercise you get
Walk it off, as I should yet
Improvement you will see I bet!
And another thing that I think
Lots of water you should drink
The bottled kind or from the sink
From this task you should not shrink.
Moderation is the key
To a healthy life, successfully
But never works it's wizardry
Until implimented by you and me!
So let's make it this year's goal
To lose some weight, 'fore it takes it's toll
And before long we will know
How good it feels, how nice it shows!

The rhyme seems a little cute and fuzzy at start but then the message comes across strongly through poem. And ain't it the truth

A very good advice.... Don't eat too much, do some excercise and drink water. Not too much water though, for that doesn't seem right. Saturday there was in the newspaper somebody who had drunken too much water and had died because of it. Moderate is my magic word too, if it comes to food. A very nice poem with a message. Well done.
