“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

At the holiday parties had gone to my waist.

When I got on the scale there arose such a number

When I walked to the store (less a walk more 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 only one can

“You can’t spend the winter disguised as a man!”

So…away with the last of the sour cream dip,

Get rid of the fruitcake, every cracker and chip

Every last bit of food that I like must be banished

“Til all the additional ounces have vanished.

I won’t have a cookie…not even a lick

I only want to chew on a long celery stick

I won’t have hot biscuits, or cornbread 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’s for?

Unable to giggle, no longer a riot.

Happy New Year to all and to all a GOOD DIET!

“I’ll spend all year long trying to get slender,
only to put it all back on by this next September!”

I do not miss any of the rich food. I am loving the veggies. But it does seem more quiet and lonely doesn’t it? Well this week has been busy, but what a great reminder/poem. Thanks Jane
