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 sure do hear ya. I hate healthy eating because the good stuff tastes good but is bad for you, and the healthy stuff is good for you but tastes blah.

      Can you start a campagine?! I’ll join. I find anyways I eat worse when on a diet because I KNOW I can’t have things and that makes me want them all the more…and to be honest, my will power is moot.

      I have said no to diets…my friend who is a model says you shouldn’t diet, just eat right and then you can splurge now and then…I’d like to think its true, but so far it ain’t working.

    Squee! It’s that time again — planning another #HomeExchange getaway!
Leaving the house behind and headed to Ontario cottage country. 🌲☀️
The hubby and I are planning a 7 night lakeside escape just a few hours from home, and honestly, this is where the girl math really starts mathing. After an expensive year, I’m extra grateful for our HomeExchange membership — and I love browsing all the gorgeous lakefront homes nearby!

Do you have a favourite town or lake in cottage country? Tell me!!

One annual membership fee + listing our home = unlimited swaps all year long. Affordable luxury travel for the win.
