The Numbers Are Climbing

A 28 dress size, the scales pushing three hundred,
the numbers keep climbing...not just the real ones
but the ones on the chart that swear if I eat this much,
if I get that much exercise, then the numbers will be right...
five then ten then seventeen months in the future...
Willpower, they preach, push away from the table,
you're intelligent, you can do what it takes...

 

Step One, admit I'm powerless over food,
have an unmanageable life. Step Two, came to believe
a greater Power can do this. Step Three, let Him...
Those numbers I can deal with.
