Listen here, sweetie, do you think I’m lying
When I say today marks the real beginning
Of my journey to body trimming and slimming?
Farewell, pounds. Hello, police of eating!
Selfies on my Gram, Facebook, and Twitter
Filtered and warped to make my waist smaller
I count calories but you don’t know my mother
There’s no slimming down if your mom is a baker
Shop “I Count Calories” merchandise and more.
