Hooked on Seafood

I fight a tremendous battle to overcome an addiction.

I have found that I have to change my life and enforce a horrible restriction.

You see my problem is one that many of us share.

People fight this fight here and there and everywhere.

My problem is that I am addicted to all kinds of seefood, you see.

It’s like this.  If I see food I want it, even if it is not good for me.

What I have had to do was learn to look the other way.

I look myself right in the eye and to me I solemnly say.

It tickles my taste buds, that’s wonderful and I love it, yes, I do.

But what is my body going to do with it once I swallow it on through?

My body will most likely store it up, creating cells of fat.

And pretty soon I will find myself looking like a gummy cat.

I love candy bars and ice cream and lots of deserts, so sweet.

I love mashed potatoes and gravy and lots and lots of meat.

The problem is not so much what I eat but the temptation to go back for more.

Before long, I will look into a mirror and see a reflection that I abhor

So, I will have to deal with this and when the man asks, “Do you want King size?”

I will simply say, “No, I think the smaller size is really what is wise.

When I see Food I may want it but I can control my addictive impulse.

Rather than over eating, I would rather count the weight I’ve lost.
