weighty question

from what I hear
and see
obesity
number one
danger to health

and
I must admit
I'm endangered

yes
there's more of me
than there should be

and
just the
thought of a diet
and I'm starving

and
even though
pictures show things
differently
I've always believed
myself
much too fat

like self-fulfilling prophesy
now I'm what
I thought I was

so
I try
to bring
quality to the quantity

a few walks a week
well-planned spashes
to tone muscles
an exercise class

but I'm still
the same
all of me

and don't forget
that
another danger to health
is stress
and what causes stress?
