FATTY
First Internet date I’m meeting him for dinner
But do I have the wardrobe to appear a little thinner?
I’m advertised as full figured
But really I couldn’t be much bigger
I gaze at my reflection and see a fat pig
How did I become so enormous and big?
When I glance in the mirror it makes me sick
Two fingers down my throat is my dietary trick
My pants are splitting and tugging tight
Must start a new diet but not tonight
Tighten my belt to seem a little leaner
Wear my XXL blouse to appear a touch sleeker
A handful of meth and a cup of cathartics
I’ll chase it down with a bottle of diuretics
Pick the wax from my ears and clip my nails
Every ounce counts off the head and the tails
I’ve tried all the diets and have lost tons of weight
But snacking my way back up the scale was always my fate
Slim Fast, Med Fast, and GOLO, I’ve tried them all
Trim Life, Slim life on my way to the fatso ball
Optifast, Trim Fast, non-fat meal
Dropping 10 lbs. a week is no big deal
Starvation, fat burners I was thin as a rail
Shedding half my weight is the Holy Grail
Count calories, count points, and count sweets
On Halloween just tricks but no chocolate treats
High fat, low fat, big fat, small fat
See-food diet and I’m as blind as a bat
Weight Watchers, calorie counters, protein shakes galore
Moderation, fat girl nation, I’m a pitiful boar
Anorexia-bulimia is the best cure
But gastric by-pass is the main allure
Frito, keto, tofu, give me more
Starving and desperate eat scraps off the floor
Stuff my pockets with M & M’s
I’m an obese jeweler and those are my gems
Pound down a double cheese just before dinner
Suck in my gut to attempt to look trimmer
Urinate, defecate and pick my nose
Clean out the snot and the jam between my toes
Work out forever and sweat like a swine
Melt off the blubber to lose just a dime
Stand very gently on the digital scale
I gained a pound another day another fail
My smart phone rings it’s time for dinner
I’d answer the damn thing if I were 50 lbs thinner
I’m a hungry dog, just throw me a bone
It’s just another lonely night to binge alone
Hot dogs, pizza, mac and cheese
Stuff my gut until I seize
Remorse, and self hate is what I suffer
I have no waist I’m a ball of blubber
Look at my garbage dump it’s a little scary
It’s time to inhale my friends Ben and Jerry
