How I’d like to go back and talk to my fat self–

The one who sat all alone, like a book upon a shelf.

I’d tell that unknown beauty of a secret she’d soon know

That fixed the problem she endures, that burdens like a foe:

The diet you eat now, is loaded down with carbs

That piles on fat-filled layers, we cover up with garbs.

That diet leads you to a stroke, diabetes, heart too fast–

But then you’ll finally learn how to tame that beast, at last.

You will become determined to learn all that you can

To feed your body properly, and fix a new meal plan.

And then, your weight will drop a hundred pounds, and more!

You’ll be wearing clothes like you never dreamed, for sure!

But the news that’s best of all, is your health takes a turn–

That diabetes takes a hike; sure glad you finally learned!

So learn from my mistakes, and do yourself a favor:

Change your diet now, to a new plan you will savor.
