How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Perfectly Good Reasons To Say No To Diets

in Uncategorized on 03/29/10

Cake2When I’m carrying around that extra 5 pounds…err Okay 8 pounds, my boobs look great.  I actually have boobs!  Why when you drop a couple of pounds are the boobs always the first to go?

When I am eating whatever I want I have convinced myself I sleep better.  Why?  Cause I have had my “tensies”.  You know…10ses  I don’t know how to spell it, but I know what it is.  That fabulous meal of snackage between dinner and breakfast.  Keeps the tummy full all through the night and I sleep like a baby. 

If I say “NO to Diets” then I can say “YES” to Chocolate Cake, Specialty Coffees, Pasta, Potatoes and Popcorn. These things make me happy.  It’s a simple joy.

Not dieting.  Not weighing myself.  Saving much unneeded wear and tear on that fairly fancy new scale that mocks me from the bathroom floor.  That is kind of like “conserving” right?  So I am doing right by the environment. 

The number 1 reason to Say “No to Diets”.  This Sassy Mamma, becomes a candy craving carb deprived diva, and then it is all too easy to unleash the cranky sourpuss that dwells beneath!

Ahh, I think that is enough justification for today.

Healthy eating can wait one more week.  At least until I eat all the Easter Candy that is coming our way!

Mwah!

      I’ve also gotta have that bedtime snack- otherwise I’m awake and starving in the middle of the night, and end up in the kitchen at for 3am-ses 🙂

      I agree about the boob thing. It’s enough to make me think about not dieting after the baby is born. My boobs would be fabulous.

      I am dreading Easter for just that reason! 🙂

      It seems like each year the Holidays get closer together and we can’t seem to find the time in between when we can diet!

      You know I totally agree with you. Diets have made me gain too much weight over the years….aren’t they supposed to work the other way around?? Tell me no chocolate and I am one mean mama!

      Excellent philosophy! And I’m jealous–whenever I gain weight, my boobs do NOT come along for the ride. Really not fair!

      I don’t diet, I just eat less and if I fit into my clothes that is how I weigh myself!

      I fit, but there is a roll of something popping out over the top of my pants and it is driving me NUTS!!!

      And I am a 32 A so I hear you… man… pregnancy was great! Those were the days.

      I know the boobs lose their swelling right away, why doesn’t it happen my ass I’d love to know?

      These are great reasons to say no to dieting! It’s true, my bust is first to slim down when I lose weight.

      I have found that eating healthier means i have to eat more than three meals a day. i have put myself on the healthy choice diet and so far everything i have tried i s good. but i understand were your coming form eating healthy makes you miss the good junk food horribly.

      That Easter candy is evil! My husband and I already went through an entire package of Peanut Butter Crunch eggs.

      Thanks for providing me with yet more excuses not to diet.
