The resolution of eating healthy means cutting out my sweet tooth.
Two weeks ago, I started the plan
of eating healthier.
It was been so mundane.
Fruits, vegetables, oatmeal in the
mornings.
Salads for snacks.
Juice instead of pop for a
beverage.
I miss the pop tarts.
I miss the cookies dunked
in milk.
I miss the bavarian creme
donuts.
I miss the butterscotch syrup
on my ice cream.
In fact, I have cut out ice cream.
Tables of sweets parade through
my dreams.
The taste of chocolate covered
cherries dream on my tongue
I go grocery shopping.
I drool at the tantalizing
treats on the shelves.
Throwing out their sweet
perfume to draw me in.
Stop it!
I rap my head.
All that stuff is evil for you!
I want beautiful skin and hair.
Sugar is a poison to my face.
I miss my sweets.
My darlings, the nice
tasty goodness.
I was one of the worst
sweet lovers in the world.
Now I am reformed.
Chocolate is my favorite food.
In any form.
I last ate chocolate two weeks
ago.
Do not curse me!
It was dark chocolate.
It stated on the wrapper
that it was a source of
natural antioxidants.
I was eating fruits and
vegetables three times a
week.
Now I eat them four times
a day.
I am running to the bathroom
more often.
I feel like a cow chomping on
grass.
I will continue the healthy eating
habits.
Fruits and vegetables will
continue to cloud my days.
I can splurge occasionally.
Chocolate covered cherries
are hard to ignore.
