After resisting unhealthy food all summer I finally cracked.

I have managed to resist all temptation
As the summer months passed slowly by,
To succumb to those calorie laden foods
And I didn’t really have to try.
I’ve avoided eating too much fat
And of chocolate and biscuits I’ve had barely a crumb.
Even ice cream, chips and favourite desserts
I’ve only been tempted to eat some.
But as a family birthday arrived
And a celebration I just had to make,
I’m ashamed to say that after all these weeks
I gave way to a huge slice of cake.
You would have thought that would be the end,
And that one piece would be quite enough,
But no I kept being attracted
And resistance was really tough.
After two more bits I felt sick and ashamed
So if you are trying to lose weight,
For heaven’s sake put the cake out of sight
And don’t leave it on view on a plate.
