Enough

The gym almost every day
Weights here, cardio there, stttrrreeeetttccchh
Heave…ho…What does the scale say?

No cake, no donuts and god forbid, chocolate
Chips are a sin and carbs are traitorous
Panting…Ranting…What does the scale say?

Nothing but salad, or protein, and only if it’s low fat
Gee, I might as well not eat at all
Huffing…Puffing …What does the scale say?

Get a body wrap, try the South Beach Diet
Maybe then I can be as thin as my wallet
Gasp…Groan…What does the scale say?

My tummy is growling, my mouth is watering
What I would give to have – oh, just a bit of…of… ice cream!
Grumbling…Mumbling…What does the scale say?

I can still pinch the bulges.
I can still feel a jiggle.
When will it be enough?

Sighing…Whimpering…

It all depends on what the scale says.
