Don’t let Deprivation make you FAT

.

A little more meat and mustard

And go easy with the custard

All these years of living lean

Have helped me to appreciate

That I must not inflate

About adeeyoyo

I am a middle-aged South African woman, living in Johannesburg. I began writing poetry towards the end of May 2010. I love animals – sometimes more than people!

    But, then there will be more of you to love.

    I am inflating without even thinking about it.

    Have given up ice cream, soda, cake and pastry for 8 weeks. I have lost 2 stinking pounds. You hear me, just 2 stinking pounds. So this morning I am buying 6 pecan pies, 9 apple pies, 2 gallons of Belgian chocolate ice cream, a gallon of chocolate chip and a gallon of pistachio. Then it’s 16 pounds of macaroni and 15 pounds of assorted sandwich meats.

  5. adeeyoyo says :

    Oh no, Carl, you’ll undo all the good work. 2 ‘stinking’ pounds equals 4 kilos. Half a kilo a week for 8 weeks is very good going. I hope you’re just joking, my friend… I’m rooting for you!

    Living in wartime rationed Britain made people lean, Denise, and many of them (including me!) retained the habit of spare eating.
    Nice poem.

      Thanks, John. That is an excellent habit to have adopted, especially when one sees overweight people everywhere these days. The only people smiling are the doctors!

    Accidentally had two good Christmases and put on 5 stone. Lost 1, just 4 to go! :D

    • adeeyoyo says :

      Bwahaha, Brit. 5 stone! That’s some Christmas eating! And it will be quite a job to lose… good luck! Just eat sensibly and it should melt off again. :lol:

    haha – you make me laugh, Adee – lean is most definitely better (but all is forgotten in the presence of dark orange chocolate :-D )
