Chubby Girl's Kool-Aid Lament

 Today's holiday on my calendar is Kool-Aid Day. I can see the happy, dancing  Kool-Aid pitcher in my mind's eye!

Thinking about it on the day I finally weighed myself and discovered that I'm a victim of "Covid 15" I'm 15 pounds above my goal weight. (Surgery has added to the problem I'm sure)

I knew my middle was getting fluffier but I'd rather it not be confirmed by a scale - which is one of those fancy ones that remembers who you are. It wasn't sure who I was! Isn't that sad?

That plunks me back into the "over weight" category of the BMI. A place I haven't been in a long time.

I need to think about how to approach this. I don't want to get all diety with measuring and using words like "good and bad". 

Back to my poem....

A chubby little girl

On a hot summer day,

Longs for icy cold Kool-Aid

In a normal kid’s way.

Instead she gets some water

Which is not a special treat!

So as chubby kids do,

She sneaks something good to eat!
