Unwanted food baby

Chubby man sighs

Numerous failed diets

Unused exercise gadgets

Cancelled gym subscriptions

Unwatched exercise videos

Expensive magic pills

Avoiding bathroom scales

No mirror glancing 

He gave in

Buying bigger clothes

Elasticated waistband pants

Loose baggy shirts

Belly camouflage tactics

Feeling confident enough

To venture out

Hardly ever walking

Preferring to drive

Bar stool jockey

Drinking endless beers

Munching snack food

Growing food baby

Always appeared jolly

But sad inside

Frustrated thin man

Imprisoned in fat

Desperate to escape

Cries for help

Nobody is listening

lifestyle truly unsustainable

Severe chest pains

Dreaded heart attack

Lights and sirens

Wires and tubes

Cute thin nurses

Ridiculously young doctors

Long slow recovery

Lucky to survive

Stopped eating junk

Empty bar stool

Walking again slowly

Vegetables taste good

Buys a bike

Pedals away pounds

Steps on scales

Reunited with mirror

Clothes too loose

Food baby gone

Thin man smiles
