One bite at a time, the weight went on,
Unnoticed, subtle, as the days moved along.
One inch at a time, your clothes too tight,
Concealing the struggle, out of sight.
One day at a time, the scale went higher,
The numbers climbing, fueling the fire.
One week at a time, your life grows shorter,
Each moment passed, a precious border.
One month at a time, your heart beats harder,
As the weight bears down, life’s precious charter.
One year at a time, you’re getting much older,
Time slipping through fingers, growing colder.
How long can you last, one year at a time?
The urgency clear, the need to climb.
One month at a time, you lose and then you gain,
A battle within, a cycle of pain.
One week at a time, you step on the scale,
The truth on display, your will to prevail.
One day at a time, the numbers going down,
A new path emerging, from a life overgrown.
One inch at a time, your clothes getting looser,
The journey of change, a determined cruiser.
One bite at a time, you relish what you eat,
Nourishing your body, making it complete.
One step at a time, this disease you can beat,
With patience, resolve, and nutritious treats.
As the days pass by, your strength will renew,
With each small step, a healthier you.
