Twas the Month after Christmas...

This sure made me laugh... enjoy:flowerforyou:

Twas the month 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.
All 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 month of February's gonna be rough
The going's not easy - you gotta be tough
The longer you do it the better you feel
So eat all your calories! Plan every meal!

Eat less and move more, that is the plan
for all on this site, every woman and man!
Cuz we all wanna have a better vision of self-
And we call on each other when we need help!

So look forward, be strong- I know you can do it,
Just follow your plan, that's all there is to it!
And when you need strength, just look here for me
The support that you seek is on MFP!!!!!

Yayyyyyyyy February!!!!
