Blaspheme

Come on scale go down, go down!

Blast you why do you keep going up?

I am watching what I eat

Was it that Frosty or the fries the other day?

I was so meaning to be good

I ran an extra mile to burn off those unwanted calories

I ate a salad for a week now at lunch

Scale oh scale why do you blaspheme?

I really do try hard

I started counting carbs the other day

I cut down on them

But I can’t seem to do without that Snicker’s bar

You know it was calling my name

I was so good; you know I was so good

Just meet and veggies for dinner and salads for lunch

What is with you scale? Can’t you see all the hard work I put in?

But it’s never enough

It’s pure abstinence or nothing

Here I sit drinking my 64 oz of water a day

Exercising, counting calories- every last darn one

What do you give me this week?

A 1lb loss

Do I really have to fight this hard to lose?

Apparently yes

Are all the sweat and tears worth it?

Sometimes, I’m ready to throw in the towel

There’s a thin person in here waiting to get out

So along I plug

Scale you better be worth it

This week another pound down

How’d I do that?

Don’t ask

That chocolate bar is calling me

Do I eat it or not

I know the answer

But my inner child within calls yes

She’s doesn’t care about my resolve

I am not going to give in this time

It’s just not worth it

Now I am learning to love my scale

That wicked beast trapped around my ankles

I’m going to make it

I am over the hump

Here comes that chocolate milkshake

What am I going to do?
