Temptation.

A cheerless day and I am torn.

 

Should a bowl of

syrup pud,

cradled in a 

custard cloak

slip with comfort

down my throat,

snuggle happy

at my hips,

smash the diet

into bits.

Or...

Should I grit my

teeth and say, no

it's salad..every day.

Ignore the pull of

sweeter things, await

the glow denial brings,

and step with pride

upon the scale.

Or shall I just

enjoy this fail?
