Struggling with the yo-yos of
weightloss
she said this apologizing.
We both laughed.

It really isn’t funny.
It hurts to be called obese.
After years of Slimfast, salads, Keto, 
calorie counting, cutting carbs,
fasting, skipping meals, grapefruit,
Weight Watchers, Nutrisystem, and
now Ozempic, a new diabetes drug.
It’s a clear liquid taken as a shot for
a price both financial and you can
never get off the merry go round
or you will be back in line for the
roller coaster.

What is the answer? Is it  diet, exercise
and willpower? Or is it a genetic problem 
passed down with a brain chemical imbalance?
Take your pick. There are two sides.
I like the latter.
