Box of Fears
(original version)
I’ve barely room
in my refrigerator
for all the food
I seldom eat
for fear of getting fat.
(slimmed-down version)
My fridge is nearly full
of food I seldom eat
for fear of getting fat.

Hi Duke,
Both versions have their charms. Maybe a word other than "full", eg bulges or other word connotating fat.

HA!
Hey duke - you could add even more ‘f’s’ in the reduction:
fridge is stuffed full of food for me to forget for fear of f***ing fat.
Effing ‘f’s’ do have a way of growing on you…
Alliterate until we puke: we ain’t leavin til we’re heavin.
Thanks for the funniness of it,
