You have to be careful lying on the beach like a stranded whale these days. A group of busy bodies will come along and try to put you back in the ocean.

What can I say, just yet another great post once again.

I usually forget about the diet. I can’t seem to resist good food he he. Wonderful poem, Christine.

Sometimes there are cravings that are hard to control especially food. Excessive consumption of sweet foods is not healthy, but at least they are enjoyable to eat.

oh its really awesome………

Lol – who could have said it better!

Love the humour of the poem!

Those are very tempting, but we need to control our appetite sometimes.

Brilliant

LOL Great one

Aren’t we all the same? Who can resist such a tempting cake? You made me laugh, Christine, and I must confess I badly need it right now. Thank you my dear friend!

Half that guilt feeling is probably because sweet foods raise our sugar levels above normal which makes us ”feel even better” but that level then plummets below the normal level later because of it. So, give your body some of the blame perhaps (and not just lack of self-control) – lol. Great poem Christine.

hehehe, once in a while, must spoil yourself.. another excellent poem, enjoyed reading it, well done, Christine.

hahaha.. the trick to losing weight is to be consistent and not to starve oneself. Maybe you put too much restrictions on yourself, thats why you would end up “binge”- ing in effect

I don’t care what you write about.. I just love reading your entries.. I think you’re becoming one of my favorites.. I just get entertained.. hope you don’t change your writing style.. Frank

I really like the flow of this one. For me, cheesecake is my guilty pleasure. I like the ending for when you lie on the beach you feel like a whale. lol. Nice share

made my mouth water. Thanks.

Ha ha… I can identify with this. I enjoyed the poem and the photies. That Raspberry sponge cake looks divine.

A whale? Ha ha!!!!!!I tempting.

cute, in my case I feel like a baby hippo.I have found that if I do not completely deny myself the foods I like, I am less likely to binge eat when I come near them. Just saw an interesting video regarding eating the wrong, this,that and the other thing. I have had success in the past, but I have plateaued so need to rethink what I eat and when. Also small meals through out the day is supposed to be good for us also…don’t know, but I do only eat when I am hungry now instead of 6, noon, 6. And the body needing water will also make one have the feeling of hunger.
thanks for sharing.

Christine, I agree with every word. You work so hard to take weight off and then that craving hits that cannot be resisted. Well, you can always hop right back on the wagon.

Christine, honey, it’s okay to do it once a month. I give you permission.

Hahahaha! I love your humor. I love poetry; in fact, my latest posts are analyses of the poetry of Lord Byron and Shelley and my own compositions. Poetry allows both of us to be on the same page.

This is really great and funny. Many people have felt the same way so you are not alone. Thanks for sharing.

I agree with JM Lennox. Still a great poem and I can certainly relate to it at times. lol

This is a brilliantly composed piece and entertaining, can be hard to not binge sometimes. Great write

This just made me hungry…

I also feel hungry seeing the cake

Lovely poem. So tempting. The only way I can resist the temptation is not to buy any of these tasty foods to home.

You have made me hungry as well! A very entertaining poem, I can relate much too well!

I loved this true to life poem. There have been some evenings when I have forced myself to go to bed simply so I won’t eat anymore. I am so weak when it comes to the sweets.

Love it! I can totally relate.

Oh my, I shouldn’t have scrolled down. Now I’m starving.

Thank you for you very funny and sympathetic comments. It seems that I can either diet or binge. There is no inbetween for me.

LOL
Chocolate, Ice Cream and banana pudding are always my family get together downfalls.

Oh these binges! LOL This is a good laugh for sure. I remember the very first one of yours I red. I think it was named I Bought a New Bathing Suit or something on that order. Was real good and tickled me!

lol That’s exactly what happens. All of our willpower that we exercised for months goes flying out the window.

Oh! I’ve been in that situation several times. Very nice poem. I know many can relate.

Nice words, lovely poem.

My wife said, I should not crave for sweet foods, but how can I resist those yummy stuff. Another enjoyable read, Christine.

You paint an interesting and realistic picture of the struggle between snacking and dieting. great share!

For when you lie out on the beach

You’ll feel just like a whale.

I like this.

I love your photos and your poem once again. Binging isn’t a problem for me though. At least, not yet.

i like it thanks

I had to laugh at this one as you nailed me to a tee. I have many problems keeping my weight down and once I start I just can’t seem to stop. But it is so good going down.

diet..diet… it’s hard to do… lol… nice poem christine:)

Well I think your yummy Christine

A nice wee share this Christine… I\’m sure you are using poetic licence, when you picture your self on the beach, cheers

yummy! amazing!

Haha,another great poem of yours Miss Christine! How can you resist such delightful desserts,lol!

Great poem – it rumbles along with a “naughty but nice” feeling!!
