Hey ladies,

I ran across this poem! It is a riot. So I thought I would share. Enjoy

Twas the day after Christmas, and all through the house
Nothing would fit me, not even a blouse.
The cookies I'd nibbled, the eggnog I'd taste
At the holiday parties had gone to my waist.

When I got on the scales there arose such a number!
When I walked to the store (less a walk than a lumber).
I'd remember the marvelous meals I'd prepared;
The gravies and sauces and beef nicely rared,

The wine and the rum balls, the bread and the cheese
And the way I'd never said, "No thank you, please."
As I dressed myself in my husband's old shirt
And prepared once again to do battle with dirt---

I said to myself, as I only can
"You can't spend a winter disguised as a man!"
So--away with the last of the sour cream dip,
Get rid of the fruit cake, every cracker and chip

Every last bit of food that I like must be banished
"Till all the additional ounces have vanished.
I won't have a cookie--not even a lick.
I'll want only to chew on a long celery stick.

I won't have hot biscuits, or corn bread, or pie,
I'll munch on a carrot and quietly cry.
I'm hungry, I'm lonesome, and life is a bore---
But isn't that what January is for?

Unable to giggle, no longer a riot.
Happy New Year to all and to all a good diet!

Hello*!!! teeheehee ain't that the truth...eeekkksss okay my true diet starts tomorrow..or no really today... I stepped onthe scale late late last night and I am now up to 205....really this is fricking crazy. Okay so I plan on being more active and have a more postive attitude about losing weight and getting healthy*!!!!

Oh you have me pegged to a T . I have diabetes that has long been uncontrolled and my weight is steadily inching upward . So it is time to draw the line in the sand and try and get some pounds off and be healthier and maybe feel alot better . Today is day one I started with high BS and by 10:00
had hypoglycemic reaction . Weathered that and am starving.

Good Luck to all of you fighting the battle of the bulge you are not alone

babe,

Your Right on it. I woke up this morning and Remembered why I want to lose weight. Not only to help get pregnant. But for myself. I am tired of waking up in the morning feeling sick of my self. I just want to feel better about myself. and I know when you have Diabetes and illness it makes you want to do it more.
I know we can do it helping each other. Who's in with me?

Love it. I am in.

Way To Go Dawn!
