To Weight Watchers tonight I returned

To relearn how those calories burned

Egads! Somehow I have gained five pounds!

It just happens so fast it astounds!

My poor knees they have begun aching

All those bad habits will need breaking

Weekly meetings the first step for me

The support and suggestions are key

Daily exercise like a small walk

Will help stop this negative self-talk

Getting more sleep would also assist

Curb cravings I can’t seem to resist

I eat when bored, I eat when I’m tired

I eat more than is good or desired

I need to get fit and have less stress

Time for change and way out of this mess
