FIT OR FAT?

Fit is one letter away from fat

Fat is one letter away from fate

Thin is one letter away from think … Three small phrases that embrace my reality.

My bedroom is filled Floor to ceiling With books, magazines, CD’s, DVD’s and VHS tapes

Describing new fad diets and

Strategies to “once and for all” get fit and lose weight

Sometimes

I actually read them and watch them

But

I have to admit

Most of the time

They sit still

Unopened

In their original packaging

And stare and glare back at me

As I reach

For the Ben & Jerry’s ice cream

The Tostitos

The Salsa and

The Diet Coke

“Fit” is one letter away from “Fat”

But making someone “Fat” – “Fit”

Takes much more than a few keystrokes

On a keyboard

Or a small swipe of

White out correction fluid

If you’re “Fat” Getting “Fit”

Takes

Courage, dedication,

Desire, Honor and

Unconditional perseverance.

Weight for me, I want to get there!
