This was a very entertaining poem. Struggling with weight is no fun. Regardless of what you see on TV testimonials, it's not a one size fits all situation. I pray that you will succeed in your quest. I think the most important thing is to stick with what you've decided and if you fall off the wagon, brush yourself off and get back on. It takes time to put on weight, and it takes time to take it off. Be gentle with yourself.
God bless and keep you.

Tom

A cute fun poem. Says a lot in a few words and is truly a universal message. It really hits a nerve with me. I've lost almost 30 but quit the most of the diet. haven't gained it back, but not lost anymore either. If this is a self-portrait, I wish you well.

This is a very cute poem that most of us can probably relate to. I love the picture right from the start, I saw that and burst out laughing. I laughed the whole way through. Good luck with the contest!

I like how you describe yourself both before and after you started your diet. I commend you for eating healthy and I hope you see the benefits soon. You chose to write a rhyming poem, but see if you can make your meter more consistent in length.

I feel this poem deep within my soul! It's like you know me! You have nailed it on the head with this one. So many people struggle with diets. The most important thing is jumping back on when you fall off. Relatable in many ways. Six stars

This is positive write about someone determined to lose weight and be slim, think slim and you'll be slim. A positive attitude helps. There is no nutritional value in a donut! Ha ha ha, love Dolly x
