I doubt whether I was about 4- 5 when I saw the "girl on the swing" Jello Ad on TV Decided right then and there that that girl and I had the same mind thought; I was NEVER gonna get fat ...G-D knows I had problems; I was NOT gonna get fat Everyone I knew was fat NOT me It was my obseesion I was NOT gonna get fat I was surrounded by heavy people NOT me I was that girl on the swing; My only problem was: I did not like Jello I was a sugar freak My cousin told me that one day I'd wake up and be fat NOT me No diets- never even changed my eating habits I would NEVER be fat I just flatly decided that I never get fat Don't get me wrong; I'm not prejudged some of my best friends are heavy and happy G-D Bless them NOT me I made myself a promised and I kept it.

Unique in that you didn't even like Jello. Talk about advertising that leaves an impression! I like the structure of the poem very much, the cap for Not repeated, and the ending that tells us if your resolve worked. Thanks!
