What I See When I Look in the Mirror

How did it come to this?

You stare at your belly as you take your morning piss.

You want to lose weight. You want to look good . 

But it’s half past eight and you’re looking for food.

Ass in the pantry, bigger than it’s been.

Tearing open every package that you’ve ever seen.

You start the day right.

But then junk food all day makes your trousers get tight.

You find your waist size appalling,

But it’s 8.30 and the donuts are calling.

Back to the diet! you say with conviction.

But deep down in your gut you suspect this is fiction.

Will I ever break the cycle or am I full of shit?

Just some chocolate before the diet, says the fat hippo-crate.
