Ten Diet Rules If You Don’t Want to Lose Weight
.
1. If you eat something and no one sees you eat it, it has no calories.
2. If you drink a diet soda with a candy bar, the calories in the candy bar are cancelled out by the diet soda.
3. When you eat with someone else, calories don’t count if you don’t eat more than they do.
4. Food used for medicinal purposes NEVER count, such as hot chocolate, brandy, toast and Sara Lee Cheesecake.
5. If you fatten up everyone else around you, then you look thinner.
6. Movie related foods (Milk Duds, Buttered Popcorn, Junior Mints, Red Hots, Tootsie Rolls, etc.) do not have additional calories because they are part of the entertainment package and not part of one’s personal fuel.
7. Cookie pieces contain no fat — the process of breaking causes fat leakage.
8. Things licked off knives and spoons have no calories if you are in the process of preparing something. Examples are peanut butter on a knife while making a sandwich and ice cream on a spoon while making a sundae.
9. Foods that have the same color have the same number of calories. Examples are: spinach and pistachio ice cream; mushrooms and white chocolate. NOTE: Chocolate is a universal color and may be substituted for any other food color.
10. Foods that are frozen have no calories because calories are units of heat. Examples are ice cream, frozen pies, and popsicles.

Twas the Month After Christmas
Twas the month 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.
All 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!

Start Over
If you’ve started out in pursuit of your goal
And you’ve really tried with your heart and your soul,
but somehow things got out of control—
START OVER.
When you’ve tried your best to do what you should
And you thought this time that you surely would,
But once again, you didn’t do good—
START OVER.
When you’ve worked so hard to follow a dieters way
And you fought to win a victory each day.
But one more time you went astray—
START OVER.
When you’ve tried so hard to yourself to be true
And do the things that you know you should do,
But once again you failed to come through—
START OVER.
When the road to success seemed much too long
And each temptation was oh so strong
And once again you gave in to wrong—
START OVER.
When you’ve told your friends what you planned to do
And trusted them to help you through
But soon discovered it’s up to you—
START OVER.
When you know you must be physically fit,
But your hope seems gone and you’re stuck in a pit
That’s not the time for you to quit—
START OVER.
When the week seems long and successes few
And at weigh-in time you’re feeling blue,
Remember tomorrow is just for you—
START OVER.
To start again means a victory’s been won
And starting over again means a race well run
And starting over again proves it can be done
So don’t just sit there—
START OVER

One Pound of Fat
Read the poem below entitled
“Only One Pound Of Fat”
I beleive it will encourage you.
You put on each and every extra pound you have ONE at a time.
So you should be thrilled each time you lose a pound of fat.
Print it out and hang it on your fridge, cupboard….
Wherever it will help you to stay motivated on your weight loss journey!
Only One Pound of Fat
Hello! Do you know me?
If you don’t, you should.
I’m a pound of fat.
And I am the happiest pound of fat
that you would ever want to meet.
Want to know why?
It’s because no one ever wants to lose me.
I’m only one pound, just a pound!
Everyone wants to lose …
three pounds, five pounds, or fifteen pounds,
but never only one.
So I just stick around and happily keep you fat.
Then I add to myself, ever so slyly,
so that you never seem to notice it.
That is until I’ve grown to …
ten, twenty, thirty or even more pounds in weight.
Yes, it’s fun being only one pound of fat,
left to do as I please.
So, when you weigh in,
keep right on saying,
“Oh, I only lost one pound.”
(As if that were such a terrible thing)
For you see, if you do this,
you’ll encourage others to keep me around
because they’ll think I’m not worth losing.
And, I love being around you …
your arms, your legs, your chin, your hips
and every part of you.
After all, I’m only one pound of fat!!!

Pounds of Protection
Pounds of Protection
My pounds of protection
Oh how strong they seem
They keep me safe from fear
And anything remotely mean
But pounds of protection
Have a stronger place you see
They also keep me hidden
From being the real me
Pounds of protection that
Have gotten me this far
Kept me in a distant place
Traveled by no horse or car
For pounds of protection
Are good in certain ways
But carrying it on my body
Keeps it in the wrong place
Author Unknown
Are you keeping your pounds of protectionfor a reason?

Dieters Prayer
Lord, my soul is ripped with riot
Incited by my wicked diet.
“We are what we eat,” said a wise old man!
And, Lord, if that’s true, I’m a garbage can!
I want to rise on Judgment Day, that’s plain,
But, at my present weight, I’ll need a crane.
So grant me strength that I may not fall
Into the clutches of cholesterol!
At margarine I’ll never mutter
For the road to hell is paved with butter.
And cream is cursed, and cake is awful,
And Satan lurks in every waffle!
Give me this day my daily slice,
But cut it thin and toast it twice.
I beg upon my dimpled knees,
Deliver me from jujubes please!
And when my days of dieting are done,
And my war with Snickers bars is won,
Let me stand with the heavenly throng,
In a shining robe…size seven, long!
I can do it, Lord, if you’ll show to me,
The virtues of lettuce and celery.
Teach me the evil of mayonnaise…
Of pasta a la Milanaise, potatoes a la Lyonnaise…
And crisp-fried chicken from the south…
Lord, if you love me… shut my mouth
