The Week After Christmas

'Twas the week 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 scales there arose such a number!

When I walked to the store (less a walk than 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 I only can
"You can't spend a winter disguised as a man!"

So away with the last of the sour cream dip,
Get rid of the fruit cake, every cracker and chip
Every last bit of food that I like must be banished"
Till all the additional ounces have vanished.
I won't have a cookie - not even a lick.
I'll want only to chew on a long celery stick.
I won't have hot biscuits, or corn bread, 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 is for?
Unable to giggle, no longer a riot.
Happy New Year to all and to all a good diet!

The lady in charge of the Weight Watcher meeting read this last night. Everyone got a real kick out of it.

My Aunt has already lost 3 pounds on WW! I've been home with Gracie Leigh so I'll have to start next week.

It's fun, isn't it?
