DIET-MATH
The wedding is in 6 weeks
If I lose 2 pounds a week
I’ll be 12 pounds thinner on the day
The reunion is coming up
I’ll subtract 700 calories a day
add 20 min of cardio
And I’ll fit into these skinny jeans
We’re going to the beach on Friday
I have 5 days to get a flat belly
How much time do we spend,
How much time do we WASTE
Calculating the diet-math
Every social event
an opportunity
To number-crunch our way to thinness
Track the calories
The grams
The pounds
The steps
The points
To equal slim
To calculate when you’ll be worthy
To be seen
To be loved
To just be you.
Diet-math
Completely exhausting
Utterly faulty
Because your value is incalculable.
