New Year's Resolution

To the zillions of you
that will make a resolution
to lose weight in 2016,
here's a really easy way to start.
No gym membership.
No sweat sessions.
No gasping for air.
No cramping.
No stretching or running.

How about . . .

Leave all the things behind you
that make you sad,
make you angry,
make you bitter,
make you confused.
Leave behind you
the what ifs,
the might haves,
the could haves,
the drama,
the gossip,
the ugly-hearted.

That excess weight is killing you.
