Ode to Mindless Eating

Instead of spending the last 10 minutes snacking and feeling sorry for myself... I tried this instead.

Ode to Mindless Eating

O’ Mindless Eating how I miss you so
I seem to have forgotten, you made my tummy grow

You were always there when I needed a friend
But alas, you’ve made me fatter in the end

Bittersweet was my relationship with you
I now feel as though I’m mostly eating shoe

You often knew how to make me feel full
Trying hard, I can now see thru the bull

…while I tell myself with each hunger pang,
That I can no longer afford to play this game

So end with you, I must
As I look down upon my shrinking bust…

My body is changing and my determination clear,
I must continue to work through my fear…

You gave me good food, You gave me distraction
I can no longer afford to be stuck in this traction

My health is important and I must remain strong
Goodbye I do say, to the House of Wong

To the buffets and the big spreads, I bid you adieu
I am determined to create a lifestyle anew

I turn to good friends at MFP
O’ how I plan to lean on thee

We can do this together, one day at a time
Now tell me whether you liked my silly rhyme.
