You head to the library for that dieting book
It tells you things you already new
About calories and protein to name a few
Your friends have one that apparently works
You can eat what you want that includes dessert
Try it for a month but nothing has changed
Eating more which is really strange
You see an advert in the local shop
Having problems eating and want to stop
Meet once a week to watch your weight
Always early and never late
Sitting in a circle you count your loss
Two pounds gone you feel truly boss
The girl in the corner has put on a pound
You slowly walk over a friend is found
Arrange to meet for a coffee and chat
Talking about things, you know this and that
Relaxing together by the sky blue lake
You’re both good and refuse chocolate cake
One week smile and the next week frown
Don’t understand you haven’t eaten a thing
It must have been that awful cheese string
You keep attending the meeting for the gossip
You’re not bothered if you’ve gained or lost it
You tell everyone there you’ve stuck to the plan
While stopping off weekly at the burger van
Someone in the group suggests some exercise
Everyone sits there fully mesmerised
One a week we’ll do some zumba
You’re hoping the leaders lost your number
In public you put on your usual brave face
To save yourself from your dieting disgrace
A chocolate bar eaten and now you’re in heaven
Couldn’t stop at one so you have all seven
Weight creeps on and a decision to be made
Need to exercise and need to get weighed
Start with a walk around the local park
Turns into a jog just before dark
You feel great and a little bit thinner
A 10k run complete, now a winner
A little treat is an exercise perk
As dieting alone just won’t work
