What follows a hefty meal
given the choice I would
rather have none
 
Sweet dishes and pastries
‘Desserts’ the bad word
I would rather have them alone
without the main meal
 
Not worth the amount of workouts
and Mediterranean dishes
to contend with thereafter
The girth needs the respect
it deserves
