Food glorious food...
I'm a foodie and not a drinkie! I prefer to eat than drink but I eat loads when I should be drinking!

Ode to Crisps
ODE TO CRISPS
Twas the night before weigh-in
And sat on the shelf
Was a packet of crisps
All by itself.
The flavour was cheddar
And onion too
I felt like I wanted them
At quarter past two
I got out of bed
And crept down the stairs
Hoping, just hoping
The pack was still there.
I opened the door
And peeked inside
There on the shelf
They sat with such pride
The shiny black packet
With writing so bold
Was a brilliant sight
Wondrous to behold.
My hand snuck in silently
To reach for the pack
I really, just really
Wanted a snack.
With stealth and precision
I opened the bag
And took a deep sniff
Oh what a drag!
I felt really guilty
My conscience kicked in
Should I decide to throw
Them all in the bin?
Oh what a dilemma
What should I do?
I fancied a snack
At quarter past two
I think I should trust
My instinct again
And throw them away
And never complain
So I opened the lid
And threw them right in
To join the biscuits
At the bottom of the bin!
Then upstairs I went
Feeling so smug
I got under the duvet
And felt really snug

Don't blame it on the biscuits, don't blame it on the chocolate...
...don't blame it on the BBQs - blame it on ya willpower! Here I am yet again writing something similar to what I always seem to be writing! *sigh*
Tuesday is D Day - I HAVE to lose weight - started exercising!
Until next time - TTFN

OK had enough
Argh - yet another blog to whinge about myself and my eating habits! I hate myself sometimes for being undisciplined, lazy, fat, frumpy and just an expert procrastinator! The motto - Why put off tomorrow what you can do today - doesn't figure in my life! Grrrrrrrr
WHY oh WHY do I find it hard to be self-disciplined to diet and exercise? After having both my lads I dieted and exercised and successfully lost (and kept off) the pregnancy weight - I actually was a lower weight than I'd ever been my whole adult life (up to that point)!
I am scared of failing yet again - that's the problem - I think I'll start a diet and then feel sick at the thought of starting then failing for the 4th year running! Why don't I just forget the past failures, get my rear into gear and lose weight - I know I'd be happier, fitter, look better, feel better!
Thanks for reading folks :) That's a load off my chest - well not yet... :p
