Another good one, Christine. At least you know you\’re human like the rest of us

Right! Summer fruits always make it a little easier to snack on something healthy. I like this a lot and face the same problem, except I alternate between chocolate and potato chips – it’s a sweet and salty craving dilemma.

Those kind of foods Christine are so tempting.No wonder you got that kind of title.Correct me if I am wrong.Nice share anyway.

You are not alone, I always cheat and regret it the next day. good piece. Get tough Christine.

I am on the same boat as you especially here at Triond. I read articles on how to lose weight and then I read recipes for chocolate cake or fried chicken

Temptation. All those foods are yummy especially the non-vegetable ones.

It’s all in the mind. You can do anything you want to.

What a great article and the diet versus proper eating will be my downfall if I don’t leave the sweets alone, that’s just why my darn wisdom tooth is killing me now. I loved the pictures and I’ll blame my next binge on you after seeing those cookies. (Keep smiling and doing a great job with the articles) I’ll be busy until the end of March trying to complete my book but if you want a good laugh check out the poetry section of my personal website http://www.terrylyle.com Well my tooth is rocking and I’ll pop in from time to time.

Your poems always make me smile. I certainly can relate. Diets just suck. But then again I’m weak-willed. You’re a lot stronger than I. I’m sure you’ll succeed.

I don’t use the word diet. As soon as that word is spoken I find myself wanting to eat!

It is tough but you hit the nail on the head with that sweet tooth as the main culprit.

Christine, it’s only human. We just plain enjoy eating and it’s hard to eat just half as much.

Pretend that chocolate is medicine…really bad tasting medicine. Or you could store it on the floor so each time you have some you’d have to touch your toes. Good exercise.

Remember Ken’s comment and you’ll be fine. You can do it. Just tell yourself I’ll eat it once or twice a week not every day. It works!

You are not alone my friend. You penned this well for lots of laughter so I lost a pound in that activity.

enjoyable poem, Yes, what happened to that diet buddy of yours, your journal and mutual inspiration and compare-notes?

Don’t allow her to her to read this poem of yours, then she’s going to blame you for her slip-ups.

Very well said about our problem.

That poem sounds just like me

good share makes sounds like this i appreciate

a very heart-warming poem Christine. you really am a chocolate lover. Guess you first learn to practice a little more self discipline.

Yes. Chocolate is quite tasty isn’t it? But I enjoy fruits and yogurts almost as much. Lucky for me I guess.

I ask the same thing to myself LOL! Great poem as usual Christine

“I’m just yearning for the warm summer days,
When healthy foods I’m more likely to enjoy…”…
So true Christine ~ Summers in Oz can bring on some extremely hot/humid weather…I drink more water, sweat more and eat good food, fruit and veges…I love chocolate…and lots of it…can’t live without it ~ liked this piece

Another masterpiece, Christine. At least you made it in coming up with a hilarious poetry to define the experience. Well I haven’t even succeeded on my own attempt. Who does?

Mum, the solution is simple. Get dad to do the shopping!

That is how it is for sure Christine and you put it into a witty poem again, why are the things we love not good for us?
Inspired and entertaining as always, thank you so much.

Oh, Christine, we’ve all been there! lol

Very good poem.

I have a sweet tooth also glad the effects do not show past the inside of my mouth. I feel your perplexity. And I would say given into temptation but I am able to live with guilty pleasure. Hang in there summer is around the corner.

If your profile picture is up to date then you do not need to diet.

beautifully conveyed…i thought dieting it’s the hardest thing to do…

I loved your poem. I have the same problem. My weakness is definitely chocolate. I have such a hard time staying away from it.

I enjoy reading every line, I do agree can’t resist the temptation.

good health and success,

yes, nice post

I have been checking whether you have any new post, and bingo here it is… your poem always make me smile and also inspiring me to write also..very interesting one again.
Don’t be too hard to yourself, eat moderately will do…but of course be careful what you eat, everything just eat but don’t overeat, but of course saying is always easier.

You read my mind on that one!
Nice piece.
Thanks,
Clay

It looks as if I hit a nerve with this one from your comments. Thank you for your support as always.

Christine

another thumbs up from me.

awww it is so hard to stick to diet..
I now east high protein and like very much,have gotten so use to it ,that when I eat things say like hot chippies ,the oily fatty taste is just so yukky horrible that I just dont bother any more.
I have found my hair is shinier and my shin a lot better looking,plus many other benefits .
I wish you strength to keep up the good hard word, But Christine remember to reward yourself with a choc every now and then

You have spoken for all the women in the world. My problem is food just tastes so good and cookies are the best.

Things went well and I am healthy, and back to commenting but a little slower. Thanks for your caring and support.

Pam

Hope you succeed on your diet I have started yet another one lol!
and at the mo it is working, but i know i will slip up again soon like always.

Very nice poem, I see we share the love of the same foods.

Yes, so true. I want to eat foods which I couldn’t eat anymore because of the need to follow a suggested diet. Well, we can try to eat once in a while, but not much.

Perhaps your body is getting fed up with dieting, Mum. Why don’t you give it a rest for a while.

That really sucks. I love my Italian foods and baked goods. lol
