Twas the month after Christmas…

Great poem- very apt re me at the moment! Normally I’d knuckle down- stop eating the treats and move more.
Problem is this cold weather somehow makes me feel hungrier than usual and I’m not getting my walks in.🤨
Another issue is that this weekend I need to try on my summer stuff as we’re off to the Canaries the following weekend for a winter sunshine break! Not much cutting down going on for the time away I fear, but keep telling myself it’ll be the Med diet so I’ll be eating healthily😉🤣! Olé!

808080028 too good not so share! (loved the poem too).
Have been trying valliantly to work (with OH) our way through all the boxes of chocolates we ended up with - nearly there but then I realised he'd ordered 3 boxes of Bendicks Bittermints (why?) just before Christmas. They have just put in an appearance.....oh dear. Post Christmas diet is doomed before its even started.................... I can never resist bittermints at the best of times.

Not my original work I’m afraid- but the sentiments are close (too close!) to home.

Love the adaptation of a well loved poem, very clever. Husband's constant coughing has brought on a migraine, so no wine at the moment! ( Don't recommend this method!) Have just had a nice healthy salmon with spinach, so no chocolates or cake yet......!

Finished the cake, just opened the chocolate biscuits!

Makes me feel better to read your lovely post. I'm not the only one! It's a struggle but we'll get slimmer for spring x

Superb Rosie ! Thanks for the giggles.
This dreaded cold virus hit us on the 26th. and has been bloody awful. On the plus side as everything tasted like cardboard we have not indulged , soup being our main meal each day.
Now have a pantry and freezer abounding with goodies so the pounds will pile on at some point !

That's brilliant, so clever and certainly describes me! I'd ordered a new dress which came today. It looks great from the front but the side view is horrifying, it's a fat person I don't recognise! Definitely need to cut down on all the treats, I don't want to live with a stranger.....

Resolutions should start on 1st February as we all have goodies left over in January.

Just read this while eating a huge slice of Christmas cake and drinking a milky coffee. Oh dear, never mind!

Still got the Christmas cake to eat up - can't let DH have it all.

Allow me to recommend shovelling snow off your pavement thrice daily, as an aid to losing weight.

Your poem is so funny Maw and will be my Mantra for January 😊
I’ll be scrambling for celery and carrots and rushing past the biscuit and cake aisles.

Excellent. I'll definitely stick to a diet but, unfortunately, a packet of Florentines fell into my basket at Marks yesterday. It would be wasteful not to eat them...

Fabulous, Maw

☺️

Just adding my voice to the chorus of laughter. Thank you Rosie, lucky us on GNet to have you.

Love it! thanks for posting!

Brilliant!

Cracking a smile and having a giggle. Excellent!

Very funny and awfully clever and me!

I bought some cream cakes today and I'm not bothered.

We need treats in January! 🍰

oh That's brilliant, we all have good intentions, we just can't see those nibbles go to waste...or go to WAIST...

You’ve caught me with a packet of Hula Hoops in one hand and a can of Irn Bru (FF!) in the other, RosiesMaw.

🤣🤣🤣
