marvholly Posted January 3, 2005 #1 Share Posted January 3, 2005 This is copied from another board but I thought it was good to shre: 'Twas the week 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 fruitcake, every cracker and chip, Every last bit of food that I like must be banished 'Til 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! Gained 7 lb in 3 weeks. Never done that even on 10 day cruises. Back to SBD PH 1 modified today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeirdEyes Posted January 4, 2005 #3 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Holly, cute poem! So, so true. I started Phase 1 of SBD on Sunday and I've lost 5 lbs of the 9 that I gained over the holidays. Yours is likely a lot of water like mine. You can do it! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
