Tomorrow, we’ll eat healthy, just this once, fast food is fine- And a whopper sounds divine.” Cheddar fries and onion rings, greasy, double-bacon things, Yummy, gooey chicken wings.Please pass the extra salt. Batter dip the deep-fried fish, supreme pizza please, (deep-dish), Put on onion, pickle, relish, plus a double-chocolate malt.

My blood pressure is a wonder.My pulse, like rolling thunder, But it’s just this stress I’m under, to transcend compulsiveness. My revolutionary new plan to defeat compulsiveness- Exercising more, and eating less…… |
