My life has been one big battle
A battle against the bulge
Weight up and down since antenatal
Always wanting to over indulge
On savoury and sweet things
On crisps, cakes and all Greggs bakes
On fish and chips and chicken wings
On Indian curries and strawberry shakes
Never a healthy salad in sight
No nuts and seeds and stuff like weeds
No I like fried stuff all dripping with fat
Fulfilling my unhealthy comfort needs
So to compensate I have to run
And run and run and run and run
Some days it’s horrible certainly no fun
But with all this crap I’m eating it’s got to be done
I keep saying to myself one day
You won’t be able to burn off all those cakes
And people will look and say
If only less ice cream cones with flakes
Then as I wobble around the house
Not being able to do much
But to watch tv and lay on the couch
With food being my only crutch
I think to myself I’ll have to make the change
To reform from eating oh so unhealthy
Make the change and forever exchange
The salad for the sweet and savoury

You don't look too wobbly there! I got me own problem. Know any groups that help ya put weight ON?!
Thanks. I have never had to look for that sort of group. I guess there must be some out there, as I know lack of weight can be a problem...not for me however!
It takes a great deal of mental strength to forego some of the wonderful food that tempts one. I too need to lose some weight and in the past when I have lost weight all I do is still eat what I like but in smaller servings, it seems to work for me.
