You attempt to do a New Year’s Diet,
To try and keep your other half quiet.
But the weight that you lose,
Isn’t with food that you’d choose,
So you have to force yourself to buy it!

Love the cartoon, that about says it all. I must disagree with the written word in this case because I know that if you truly want to diet in your house, with the way the two of you can cook, it would be a wonderful adventure in dinning. However for the average person you’ve nailed it spot on.
Thanks for the compliment William! I will show your comment to Anita, she’ll be chuffed !
I’m with William… and, unless your diet is candy and cookies, the trick to any diet is not a change in food, but a change in volume!
Yes, except it is possible to cut down on hot extras like wine!
Caro, oh, this made me giggle! I agree with William, but with two wonderful cooks in the house, it might be difficult to stay on a diet, unless you stuff the ‘fridge with kale and celery and lettuce!
We promise to try, Amy!
I think DIET is the worst of all the four letter words! Cute poem…
Hahaha Alessa! There are millions of women who agree with you!
Hahaha! Love the poem and the cartoon! Changing one’s diet is a very tough thing to do. If only people could earn money by losing weight, then our society might be more successful!
That would be a good wheeze!
I hate diets. I decided to stop dieting a long time ago. Life is too short not to enjoy good food, right?
Good food is always vital…
So true. Once on the lips, forever on the hips!!
Indeed!
