Hunger bites my gut.

My body aches all over.

I long for junk foods,

Short temper works overtime.

Is losing five pounds worth it?

Life is too short to worry about that five pounds.

It's the hardest thing in the world to do - especially if you adore penne with vodka sauce! Good luck!

Thank you Tonia, Anne, and Cheryl for your comments. I wrote this when it was long past lunch time, and I hadn't had any breakfast. I always have the intentions to start a good diet/exercise program, but I procrastinate too often! :(

wow all that for 5 pounds, imagine if you had 50 or 100 to lose.

Only the "loser" knows for sure, Virginia; but your tanka is a winner with it's passionate questioning of the problem. Good job.

I'd like to invite you to republish this to Weight Watcher Friends group Weight Watcher Friends

I struggle with this decision every day!
I think it is worth it! When I am successful, the boost my self confidence gets is a very rich reward!
