My New Diet
I am going on a diet
A special diet where misery isn’t allowed
I will no longer check my cell phone
For texts and messages
Every five minutes
I will find five joyful things
To experience each day
And will do them without hesitation
Then journal about them
Each one
In their glory
I will put in my body
Only foods that bring me health and joy
No longer will I self sabotage
With lousy relationships
Cruel couplings with men
Of which I should know better
There will be no further settling
For disrespectful treatment
As I focus on my own self respect
The world around me will change
I’m going on a diet
Of hope and eager choices
Expecting miracles
With the bite of each moment
Fawn
