Lockdown shopping

Today I went shopping,

lockdown shopping is hard.

Queue up just to take a look,

changing rooms are barred.

 

Today I bought a new dress,

I must admit it isn't quite right.

It is just a little bit too small,

only a teeny tiny bit too tight.

 

Today I made a promise,

to eat healthily all next week.

I will not raid the biscuit tin,

I will turn the other cheek.

 

Today I made a pledge

to lose those excess pounds.

I can't cut out red wine, though,

on medical grounds.

 

Today I have a new dress

and it may fit me tomorrow.

It doesn't really matter anyway,

I haven't anywhere to go.

 

So pleased with my new dress,

I am sure it will look great.

as long as for the foreseeable,

there is only salad on my plate.

Having lost over fifty pounds over a year or so via a change of diet,
I enjoy online searches for no (or low) sugar treats. A favourite, after
adjustment to taste following years of milk chocolate, is 85% cocoa dark chocolate from Lindt. Two squares and a cup of tea/coffee -
- a tasty tip towards stalling diabetes!
