My appetite was demanding,
My waist was expanding.
My fitness was tragic,
Definitely no magic.
I discovered a Group called 'Slimming World',
So thought, lets give it a whirl.
Sceptical, hem and haw,
Would I have to wire my jaw?
The book seemed double-Dutch,
You can eat how much?
I won't have to fast,
One can eat a full English breakfast.
Pulses, pasta, rice,
They're a good choice.
What about soup,
Yes, there's plenty of recipes in Group.
10-15 syns, put the rest in the bin,
They're not how you get thin.
Well now, how amusing,
Is the sun blazing?
Why? Everyone's undressing,
Oh! It's nothing exciting; it's just the weigh-in.
Food for thought,
Food for all sorts.
Iv'e given up fat and sugar,
I think I deserve an Oscar.
Nuts and seed?
Not enough for an evening feed.
Meat and veg, yes - but sup no ale,
OMG! No ale, I think I'd rather go to jail.
You can smoke your own fish,
Oh! I don't know, I'll just have an easier dish.
Taster day is approaching,
So try your hand at savoury baking.
Or maybe sweet stuff is more your thing,
But don't forget to count the syns.
Shh! I've just eaten a chocolate bar,
That had better slip beneath the radar,
Or count it in - as a syn.
Munched your way through Chinese food?
No time to brood,
Draw a line and take it as a sign
TO STAY ON PLAN WHEN YOU CAN.
You'll get there,
If you eat the right fare.
Stay to Group and learn the ropes,
It definitely raises people's hopes.
This change of lifestyle is really worthwhile,
It makes you feel young and agile.
Diet needs policing,
But weight is decreasing.
No more dressing to disguise,
Have now dropped a dress size.
Clothes that were put away in dismay,
Are now back out and on display.
There was no need for my alarmism,
I have no more dietary scepticism.
Slimming World recipes
Are now my specialities.
I'm glad I joined this Slimming Group,
I've lost weight, Whoop! Whoop! Whoop!
Now, I've achieved that desired 'look',
Because I read the 'S.W.' Book.
