a dieter's work is never done
Saturday, June 9th 2007
being prepared is what we doto beat this thing
called obesity
we food shop
for hours
reading labels
good fat
high fiber
low carbs
making the choices
the right choices
to help us
beat this thing
once and for all
we go out to eat
and peruse the menu
the minefield
we ask questions
or special order
just to be sure
we're still part of life
while
we beat this thing
now and forever
we carry water,
kashi bars
and little cups
filled with l...
are we there yet?

pack the carcheck the oil
grap the maps
stop for gas
the journey begins
count the cars
lots of cars
aother traffic jam ahead
it's getting dark
shouldn't we be there soon?
time to eat
time to eat again
we need more gas
stop one more time
stretch the legs
touch your toes
are we there yet?
the journey,
the road to somewhere
is always longer
than we want it to be
we want to get there
before we begin
the destination
the only thing

diet is a 4-letter word
Thursday, June 7th 2007
words have a lifeof their own
some are poetic and
luscious
others conger
bad thoughts
memories of
castor oil
and forced feedings
of spinach and brussel sprouts
ok, not exactly forced
but i didn't want any of it
nothing healthy
because as a child
we do anything, just about anything
not to eat anything, just about anything
thatÂ’s green
i shouldn't have to do that
why do i have to...a 4-letter word
diet
but then it dawns
on me
even at 10 yea...
failure is not an option

failure is not an optionbut it looms heavily
mightily
in every thought i have
in every step i take
what if i can't
what if i don't
i fear my mistakes
when i preach
we are all human
i fear never reaching my goal
when i know
the journey is long
i fear impatience
at giving up
perhaps
just when i am
about to turn a corner
failure is not an option
but it is a question
i ask myself every day
what if i can
what if i do
i am stronger ...
tolerance
Tuesday, June 5th 2007
i can not relateto thin people
who just want to be thinner
healthy people
who become unhealthy
because they think they are fat
i can not tolerate a size 8
wanting to be a size 4
insanity
obsessive
vain
do i look fat
they ask
as if i could possibly
think they do
wearing my size 22
just wanting to be a size 14
i pray for them
but i don't have time
to think they have a problem
when they don't
shame
on me
and on them
what must they think...
