WeightWatching
Early Tuesday morning, right after ten
I’m standing in the judgment line, nervous again
I’ve run from the bus stop, been to have a pee
Now it’s time to face the weighing scales fear-less-ly
I’ve tracked every mouthful, logged all I’ve eaten
Those three extra stones of fat, have to be beaten
What about the glass of wine, the sticky toffee pud
Italian at Carluccio’s, maybe not so good?
The weekly assignation, moment with the data
Will it show on the dial that I scarfed those roast potata?
All along the queue we’re skinny sorts and fatter
All of us anxious, chat chat chatter
I’ve inched my way forward to the front, with miss
What’ll be the verdict, despair or bliss?
I’ve taken off my watch and shoes, worn my lightest things
Now I’m praying for a good result, to give me wings
Tread very lightly, softly on the scale
In the battle of the bulge, lord, don’t let me fail
So this is the lot of the WeightWatching crew
Tuesdays at ten o’clock, how will we do?

Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteMy ordeal is via a review with one of the practice nurses, and includes cholesterol levels, but apart from that it feels, methinks, very similar! Thank you for writing and posting to express this so vividly for all of us with these things to face.
ReplyDeleteHope it was bliss this week. I may start again next week after my battle with a zip yesterday. Up 2 up 4 down 2 down 4 up 2 it cannot go to 4 springs to mind! You sum up meetings brilliantly,love the image of wings! Do they have prizes for poem of the week in WW magasine?
