Thought for the Day: Strength is the capacity to break a chocolate bar into four pieces with your bare hands - and then eat just one of the pieces. Judith Viorst
I met up with one of my flabby friends yesterday. She asked me, "So how long have you been on a diet? I mean, apart from your whole life."
"Two weeks" I replied, "Shall we get a coffee?"
"Certainly not, we need something decadent: cake? ice-cream?"
Well, that's the magic word, isn't it? Ice-cream. So off we waddled to Baskin and Robbins where in deference to the diet I had only the smallest possible scoop of something that tasted sinful and claimed to be low fat.
At the weigh-in this morning I tipped the scales at 81.2 kg. A downward trend but not enough to get excited about. So, this morning I decided to bite the bullet (low fat, of course)and join weight watchers. I discovered last night whilst surfing the net that my nearest group is just round the corner and meets at a time I am usually free so I had no excuse. Rita, who is as skinny as a stick, signed me up and gave me 'my passport to success.' She says I can eat as many vegetables as I like. Oh joy.
