Mad

 Mad Love

Been working on my weight

for about 65 years now,

and so far,

I’ve lost 1500 pounds. Wow!

Walked a lot,

worked both sides of the street.

Read a lot,

a thousand diets I did meet.

Ate a lot of tofu,

but that gummed up the works, too.

Drank a lot of water,

but that mostly made me friends with the loo.

Worked out, worked off, worked through dinner,

still a struggle, still not much thinner.

Made every effort, every endeavor, exerted like mad,

shot the works with what I had.

Nothing worked, so I quit.

I learned to love me as I am, and found it a good fit.
