Guest guest Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 How appropriate! 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!

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 : Good one, but remember. No diets, just healthy mindful eating. Having you been journaling what you're eating? I still use fitday.com. Works like a charm because I'm aware of my intake and output (exercise). Gotta live in balance, butterfly.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Remember this word when you go to eat or drink something you not suppose to. HALT, this means that your either HUNGRY (need to eat good food, PROTEIN), ANGER (Food won't fix it, use it wisely and talk to the person who makes you feel this way, or fix the situation), LONELY ( call someone, meet to talk with someone, drop the food and get on here), TIRED (Rest, relax, take deep breath, a bubble bath if there's time). This are things that set off our emotions fast and then the food seems to make us feel better for the second we're putting it in our mouth, then terrible for what we did to our self. EVERYONE yell HALT, now think of what I said it means and when an emotion comes up yell HALT and do what it takes to fix which one it is, and it could be more than one. Now HALT and work with the gift of WLS, and have a HAPPY NEW YEAR!
