Bend. And Snap

eat healthy. exercise. be happy. easier. said. than. done.

it's a sort of neverending battle

the kind you would almost have to wear glatiators to

because of the necessity

of looking

so much the part

 

it's another slice of pizza

the extra four laps

the last few minutes

on the treadmill

trying to make that one last impression

 

reminds me of trying too hard

but without reaping the benifits

of confidence

and self esteem

 

the thousands of blogs

circumnavigating the earth

one LCD display at a time

posting pictures of hip bones

and explaining off half hours Dance Dance Revolution-ing

as an exercise plan

 

pounding the floors

at the mall

for that perfect there

but not there oufit

to expose that perfect there

but not there body

 

before making the entrance

she sucks it in

flattening the flat stomach

pretending she has no desire

to have a piece of that birthday cake

oh, shut the hell up

it's not like you're fooling anyone

I'm not the healthiest guy but I get where you're coming from. I liked the title as well.
