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

  7. You brought back memories of how my mom used to eat only some of her meal in a restaurant, to be sure she'd have room for dessert.
