Gave up on dieting long ago -- have a HUGE sweet tooth --- but this sounds like something I might have done once upon a time :)

Yeah... most everyone cheats on their diet, all the while proclaiming how well they're doing. (You might consider using 'sprinkles' instead of 'crumbs' for the overall flow.) Great title... cute little poem!! Love, Keith xoxo
