The feasts are done, the tinsel’s down, The Christmas carols cease their sound. No more spiced punch, no yule log bright, Just grim reflection in the light.

I step upon the bathroom scale, And hear the tiny gears all wail. A number stares, both grand and proud, The ghost of every creamy cloud, Of roasted goose and candied yams, Of extra butter on the hams.

It seems my tummy, round and snug, Has grown quite fond of every hug From mince pies hot and chocolate deep, While I was blissfully asleep. My skinny jeans now feel quite rude, A very tight, judgmental mood.

But fret I shan’t! The past is past. The time for stretchy pants is fast Approaching its inevitable end. It’s time for spin, my trusty friend!

The bread basket will get a glance, But then I’ll make a nimble dance Around the carbs, the sugar lure, To feel quite trim and quite secure. I’ll trade the gravy for the green, To look less like a festive queen, And more like one who’s learned to chew On salads crisp and water, too.

So farewell, fruitcake, rich and dense! I start my six-week recompense. I’ll bid the holiday weight adieu, (Until next Christmas, one might chew!) results no crash diet involved
