A pound here
A pound there
Where did they come from
I ask myself

An inch lost
10lbs at a time
never to be found

Cut the bread
Cut the cake
Let them eat
....salad

Cut the carbs
Eat the fat
Fat doesnt make fat
I ponder this

But alas its true
Rejoice I say
I can eat my favs

A pound lost here
A pound lost there
Where did they go
I no longer ask myself

I celebrate
and persevere
I gained an inch
and maybe more

I see my toes
though lost for sure
wiggling sausages no more

The chin once doubled
has lost his friend
Success so elusive
is finally within reach

My stamina once done
within a flash of wink
survives now the panting
and no mores

The mirror once shrouded
is the center of my attention
I can not hide
nor want to

A pound lost here
A pound lost there
I know where they have gone
and I have locked the door behind them

I have to dieted. It feels good when you shed the pounds off. And you work hard not to gain them back. Great write.
