The Diet

The Diet

Oh why’s it so hard to lose a few pounds, see my ideal weight on the scales?
There’s hundreds of films and thousands of books
Each telling me how to take care of my looks
And advising of where I can get nips and tucks.
I’ve all of them read and done what they said but I seem to have gone off the rails!

Oh why can’t I look like a magazine cover, all glamorous skinny and thin?
Not a care in the world, they’re so bonny and blithe
Perfection embodied so supple and lithe
Natural beauties that don’t have to try
Willowy and tall with no effort at all, oh why can’t I look like their twin.

Oh why can’t I see they’re not everyday pics, they’re airbrushed to make ‘em look glam?
Looking that slim means all day at the gym
Strictly no carbs, no sweets and no gin
A life without chocolate how terribly grim
So their lives are not real, doesn’t hold an appeal in fact it is really a sham!

Why don’t I just learn to love who I am and be true to myself and feel free?
Love life’s rollercoaster the dips and the humps
Count all my blessings as well as my lumps
Learn to be happy, not down in the dumps
(Look in the mirror and not see a grumps !)
And be proud to shout out at the top of my voice “ I am real, I am good, I love me!“
