Some humor,for a change


More carbs,less carbs, what shall we do
who know what's really good for you?
Protein is crucial, so they say
but you must take the fat away.

Calories count, or maybe not
perhaps if all the food is hot
but natural, it must be so
for all your extra pounds to go.

Your blood type may tell you what's new
some should eat meat, some veggie brew
unless your body type's to blame
it matters not, we're all the same.

The rule, you cannot be too thin
every woman at fashions' whim.

(smiles) Oh Sandra, yes, I believe that everry now and then we can break the rules in a diet, for we are only human and we should eat what we like! (kiss on cheek) I believe to be happy and content with yourself can really benefit a diet, sweet friend, this is wonderful and delightful, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sandra, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

YEP,  and what did I read today....that there is something in our body chemistry
that is more important to watch out for than
High Cholesterol......  Add that to your
list of don'ts.....


Like the lighter side of this Sandra...good

hehehe, i love this!

I used to be obsessed with my weight..until i met my current boyfriend, who is always encouraging me to eat more and gain some weight..It's funny, you always want to look how other people think you should look, but finally I'm happy with myself

I love this poem, lots of humor and really cute, but also really true Great job!!

Hey, I’ve heard that if you take a bite or two off someone else’s plate, it has no calories!! Lol.

This is so true. I sure don't know what to eat to get thinner. I use to be alot thinner. Now, what can I say? I gained a few.
And, I don't hardly eat at all.

This is so adorably true, Sandra...and you expressed it so perfectly.
I was involved in a discussion tonight at a support group and we decided that anything you eat will kill you and that the only safe food is brussels sprouts....organic brussels sprouts.

And Tracey, the trick about food off someone else's plate not having calories only works if its your child....so if you want this one to work,   you gotta have a child first.
I have also heard it said that there are no calories in the crumbs...so if you crumble all your food before you eat it, you should be able to eat as much as you want without gaining any weight.

I suppose you could live on love...but not for long.

I have a poem called Saccharine Citizens that explores a similar theme

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

I agree with Sven, a GOOD book!

You have shouted the thought that many are struggling with even as I write this.
Wonderful job!!

You took a horrid issue and made it lighthearted Ms. Sandra. I'm working on my body by Botticelli and it's coming along quite nicely But I refuse to give up my fried taters..

Sincerely,
