This describes of lot of us women. I'm not that fat anymore, but I do know many who seem to get the weight on their fanny's. It's just in the genes I think. I thought it was a cute poem with rhyming couplets.

What a great little entry for this contest, Debra, and you couldn't have chosen a better picture to accompany your poem. I'm guessing, though, that you are not really a "fat-bottomed girl." My best to you in the contest.

I really enjoyed this one, Debra. The Speaker reminds me of many of the women I work out with every morning at the Y. Usually they come with someone else and talk about their success or lack of it, then agree to meet after their showers at Starbuck's for a little pick-me-up. I think it's great you can laugh at yourself. Very well written. Rod

How many men and women struggle with their weight and after a noble battle, give in to something chocolate. When faced with abstinance or indulgence, indulgence has the edge. This one made me smile. I always like rhyme and the subject was one I could identify with. Excellent contest entry. Best of luck to you. Blessings, Linda

Debra;
This is a really enjoyable read and I enjoyed it very much. I would like to first wish you good luck in the contest especially because of their requirements we're so difficult.
I found your imagery to be very imaginative and also demonstratively descriptive and brilliantly expressive throughout your writing especially in areas like this:"My legs are most shapely my cardio strong the spare tyres and extra chins - grateful, gone."
Your imagination-ish truly inventive and very creative for this type of writing.
Technically near rhyming was done very well And neither of your rhyming was forced nor labored in your rhythm in your rhyming couplets flowed smoothly throughout your writing and your rhyming helped with the rhythmic flow.
Thank you so much for sharing them posting in May the good Lord be with you always.
Alex

Hello Debra White, this is a poem that many will relate to ... the roller coaster dieting and the saboteurs that surround us. I especially liked:

So don't stop me now, please don't tempt me with cake...
(Go on then, a small slice can't hurt, for God's sake!)

(The slipper slope)

A fun entry. As this is a writing prompt entry, I wish you good luck. LateBloomer

This work has reached the exceptional level

Good imagery for all that you've done to loose weight. don't knock your butt though, you've had 3 kids. up and down stairs, that will do it. used to do those in track and field to strengthen thighs, calves and butt.

good for you girl I'm proud of you

good luck in the contest

I had a teacher who looked like the person in the picture. We used to call her "Urco" after the chief ape on "The planet of the apes" Are you sure you want to be a classroom assistant, kids can be cruel. LOL

It's a great fun poem. Brings in a bit of personality and humour to the subject. Nice rhyme that doesn't need too much effort to get through. It's going to do well.

LOL

What a cracker! I think many women including myself think this way :)

Loved the meter of your well crafted post and thought it to be a fine entry to the prompt.

Good luck my friend, and my appologies for not being able to review of late. I hope though that I am back for a while at least.

Kindest regards

trimple:)
