There and Back Again by Fluffybear
There and Back Again
I once was svelt and lithe
A beauty to behold
As graceful as a gazelle
At least that’s what I’ve been told.
Tennis was my racket
And volleyball my game
I was extremly active
Now nothing is the same.
I used to hike up mountains
And swim in bottomless springs
I walked for miles up rugged trails
And dreamt of a million things
That I would do througout my life
I had many plans and dreams
And lofty aspirations
And many well-planned schemes
Yes I was tall and slim
Built like an athelete
I thought my life would be
One big winning streak.
But then I married and had kids
And warmed them all with love
Like other things I tackled cooking
Like a mandate from above.
Intead of being a super-star
I became a super-mom
And had lots of goodies waiting
For my family when they came home.
The only trouble was
I was not still runnng track
I ate like there was no tomorrow
And almost had a heart attack.
My body changed throughout the years
From a lean mean fighting machine
To one with bumps and bulges
My eating had become extreme.
The only thing now
In which I did compete
Was the race home from the grocery store
So I could sit down and eat.
I looked in the mirror and didn’t see
A body fit and trim
I saw a fat lady now
Who had a double chin.
So I threw out all the junk
The carbs went out the door
I began my healthy journey
Hoping to be like I was before before.
