Quotable Sunday ~ On Dieting

Happy Sunday! I have chosen quotes about dieting today. I am making a concerted effort to drop my winter layer, which seems to be bulkier than in years past, hmmm. Mr. Blonde joined in the diet festivities this week, and woudn’t ya know, the dude has dropped half of the amount of weight I want to lose…. in ONE WEEK!!! I hate men and their ability to drop 10 pounds just by thinking about it. Nothing pisses me off more than hearing him get on the scale and say, “Cool, just dropped another three pounds yesterday.” And guess what? If he were to go take a crap, or a BM for those polite folks, he’d hop on the scale and find he’d lost another three to five pounds! I want to be a man just long enough to lose 10 pounds. I could handle two days being a man, couldn’t I?

When we lose twenty pounds… we may be losing the twenty best pounds we have! We may be losing the pounds that contain our genius, our humanity, our love and honesty. ~Woody Allen

Inside some of us is a thin person struggling to get out, but they can usually be sedated with a few pieces of chocolate cake. ~Author Unknown

Rich, fatty foods are like destiny: they too, shape our ends. ~Author Unknown
