On the brink of......dieting, have you ever been there?

Question

Death and Dieting

To diet is a death of sorts

To leave behind the fat’s decay

Deny one’s self of life’s comforts

Look to a thin and youthful day

I lost myself in life’s desires

(Admit to no control at times)

Which turn on me, and with their fires

Engulf me in their fleshly crimes

I awaken now and make my move

To resurrect this image of me

To show myself, and to others prove

Once hidden body, I can be (again)

Another re-vaulting poem, circa 1992 (year, not poundage!)

Answer 1

Thank heavens 1992 does not represent poundage.  Cute poem and yes, I live there!

Answer 2

I live there as well, but have come to the acceptance of my true goddessness.  More Venus of Willendorf than Venus de Milo.

But the docs all say I'm healthy.  I try not to obsess either about yummies or tummies.  Great poem!

Answer 3

I’m a guy and I’ve never had a weight problem. What am I doing answering this, then? I dunno. You all must hate me. I would.

Answer 4

Ah, I see another pound of that

my how the seasons measure

another decade another 10 of fat

all the more for  mirror to treasure!

A nice flow to your poem, although the subject quite depressing!

Answer 5

HA HA HA HA HA HA  loved your little notation.

It's a very good poem -- of which all DIE-Ts are comprised.

Love the open and personal way of chatting in rhyme!

Well done.

"Hi!"

"Sweet Indulgences, Lacks It's fruitfulness".

A poem that most people can relate to, as we have all had some form of weight issue in our lives.

For every child I bore, To every pound i scored.

I,ve been dieting now for 12 months and i am nearly at my desired goal weight.

I hope you all the success, that you will reach yours.

Good Luck
