This weekend I was caught,
Not doing as I ought…
A whole can of chili
For a snack is silly,
It’s blood sugar level spike-wrought!
–
Tasting good and healthy are unequal,
Lessen portions in any sequel…
Servings per can
More than one I understand,
All at once affects diabetic people!
–
Changed to turkey and cheese,
Sandwich or two which pleased…
My palate–not the nurse–
Eating too much was worse,
Need to reign in my greedy “needs”.

Fat on adults stays put,
Did you really think that it would…
In the same boat
At LEAST we float,
But losing it is to the good!
–
In my home there’s less food money,
Other auto=pay’s are taking it, Honey…
As portions decrease
Fat-gaining will cease,
Feeling better helps the running.
–
My friend listen to me,
Your food increased lethargy…
Blood sugar depression
Causes regression,
Eat smarter and move–you’ll see!
–
–Jonathan Caswell
Less sugar bathing his brain,
Lowering levels for same…
Eating less too
Temporarily blue,
But sanity is maintained!
–
Smaller portions succeeding.
In decreased consumption needing…
No seconds consumed
Making more room
Near the steering wheel when he drives!

PROPER NUTRITION
He’s eating a garden salad,
His wife would think that valid…
The large pizza with cheese
Ate alone did please,
But it might turn his doctors quite pallid.

VERY CHIPPER!
He found himself a provider
Of chips, a donation insider…
Who brings by bags
Of chips duly tagged,
Slightly out-of-date satisfiers!
–
He brings single-serving bags
That don’t make limits a drag…
For portion control,
But still make one full
Enough for desire to sag.
–
Enough for the two of them,
Both flavored and plainer items…
To keep them in snacks
Through this neighbor’s contacts,
Until he has more once again!
–Jonathan Caswell
BIRTHDAY WEEKEND
She’s ready for the ice cream and her blueberry pie,
Neither one is sugar-free, so we’ll keep an eye…
On how much the both of us have at that very sitting
Avoiding stumbling in desire while on the edge we’re treading!
–Jonathan Caswell
