Laughter is the Best Diet Device

Most folks think dieting is a serious business. I however know if you keep the humor alive it will be a much easier and much more successful endevour. I have a few stories that may or may not bring a chuckle to your inner being. I thought at the time they were funny.

We all know the main stay of dieting is measurement of what you are eating and the interpretation of the calorie or gram counter from a source. Early in one pursuit I noted I was allowed 3 cups of popcorn. WOW I thought do you realize how much popcorn that will make? It took me two days to eat it all. My mentor then explained to me that was suppose to be 3 cups air popped popcorn. I understand that story is still being shared with folks learning the necessity of accurate measurement and understanding the book.

I was about to weigh in one week when I noticed many folks were removing their shoes. I innocently asked if I could remove my leg? The young attendant though I was kidding and said OK until I snapped the lock on my leg and took it off. I then fell on my butt. Well at least I thought it was funny.

I finally got a handle on the diet and began to focus on the "Free Food" list. Green beans were free so I bought several restaurant sized cans and ate huge quantities of green beans at every meal. I still can't figure out how I gained four pounds eating only green beans and drinking ice water... maybe it was the salt. LOL

Today my focus is a bit more in line with moderation. I believe that dark chocolate should be a daily requirement just as a multi-vitamin. I believe bacon is a vegetable and should be part of my four vegetables per day. I also believe that a chocolate cookie in each hand is a balanced meal. (I'll take robust Columbian Coffee with mine) Remember giggles are the carbonation of love and do burn calories. Mizpah ;-}}>
