One Bite at a Time...

I think about food. A lot. Just the other night, I kept thinking to myself "Oh, I'll just have 1 bite..."  Well, one bite of this, one bite of that, and 3 pounds later, I really did some damage!

The damage inspired the following poem:

One Bite...

One bite at a time

It helps or it hurts

One bite at a time

It tempts and it flirts

One bite at a time

but the bites add up

One bite at a time

til you can't coverup

One bite at a time

Feed your body or brain?

One bite at a time

And both you can train.

One bite at a time

Choose this or choose that

One bite at a time

building muscle or fat

One bite at a time

which bite will you choose?

One bite at a time

how much will you lose?
