The Diet by SRF Poster

Don't EVEN get me started ... ; ) I never really had to seriously diet although I never could just eat everything. Now, I'm hearing, "Well, our bodies shift as we get older .... Once you pass a certain age, it's harder to lose weight ... blah blah blah." I do know several things I do wrong. One, I eat extremely late; yet, if I eat earlier, I go to sleep and get nothing done. So, what's with the theory that you shouldn't eat after a certain time? I figure I'm burning off all the calories before dinner. Oops, I don't eat all day, so yes, I know, my body is saying, "Store the fat. She's starving us." I could write a book here; yet, I will add that a major mistake I make is eating double dipped chocolate covered peanuts on the rare occasions I'm alone and want to read a mystery, so ... I can either give up those wonderful moments and reading ... or say, "Life's too short to not indulge every now and then!" (Of course, I go to sleep while eating them and reading ... and I can't begin to tell you what a mess that is ...."... SO .... Enjoy ! (Copyright 2009. Poetry: The Diet.
