Beware the diet saboteurs.
With their “good intentions.”
They know you’re on a diet.
You’ve aforementioned.
Anytime they’ll send.
Gift cards for sweets.
Ice cream and more,
High-calorie treats.
No, they’re not evil.
They’re familiar folk.
They too, struggle.
In the same boat.
You’ve been successful,
Sticking to, and zealous.
They’re without willpower.
For this, maybe jealous?
If gobs of sweets come,
To your work or to home.
Donate it to a charity.
Others deserve some.
It’s so tempting,
To fall off the wagon.
You’ll surely regret it.
You couldn’t slay the dragon.
Next time, you’re on the subject.
Each talking about their weight.
Change the topic yourself,
Don’t take the bettor’s bait.
Maybe they’re just a prankster,
Having fun, trying to win.
But, the best revenge of all,
Healthy physique, you’re in.
