No more Mr. Nice Biscuits.

An embarrassment of riches harass the stitches of my ironically skinny jeans.
Stressed seams, seem to stress the gravity of my mass.
My wide uncooked meat feet spread wider as I apply the entirety of my weight.
A faint smile masks a wince, since my back is being attacked by a lack of horizontal relief.
My callused hands give way to Golden sands.
Tanned forearm, a foreword to an absurdly white upper.
A gingernut dipped in yoghurt.
My front.
Like a stunt man's crash mat.
Post-crash.
Portly,
'Ought he not go on a healthy regimen?'
'He's a rather large specimen.'
I'm largely in agreement.
I'm watching my consumption.
With the assumption being that I'll be seeing a change in my state, and one day a thinner face reflected in a much smaller plate.
