For my height
I’m a bit overweight
It’s certainly no fun
When it gathers round my tum
And shirts feel tight
Quite a sight
As buttons pop
Over my belt it does flop
I try to diet
Do it mainly in private
So as not to create a reaction
The unwanted attraction
Of people tutting
The thought of them judging
Me eating some fish and chips
Which immediately hits my hips
I try a bit of running
I think this is quite cunning
As I feel I can have another pudding
But who am I kidding
I need to watch every calorie
Eat tomato and a bit of celery
Resist the biscuit tin
Think my self thin thin thin
Try to get back to the person I’ve been
The person whose hiding within!

Nice write. I also have a problem eating right 24/7, and it's something I've gotta work on lol. Everything in moderation...
I too have a person hiding within who is lithe, sporting, fit with hardly any excess weight but I seem to have lost him half my lifetime ago when I was thirty five.
