Forget the Diet
Too tempting to stay on a diet.29 total reviews
Comment from royowen
I've occasionally dieted, it usually depended on the activity, but a big part of my life I was physically active as a sportsman and in retirement a gym person, but eating well is a good thing, interspersed with luxury, this is a great piece of writing Beth, blessings Roy

Thank you Roy. I really appreciate the review and comments. It is all for fun. The only diet I'm on is the one my dentist put me on for implants. He said soft cold food. It sound like ice cream to me.

Well done then
Comment from Tom Horonzy
The battle is continuous. Eat, drink and be merry or fast, parch, and be sad. Given the two which would I do? I'd be with you and say "give the devil its due, as sweet things are tempting for a reason. JOy!

Comment from patcelaw
Any diet will work as long as we stay with it and don't give into temptation. I lost over 112 pounds in the last six years and I am maintaining my weight now for over four years. I feel really good about that because it's the first time of my life, I've been able to maintain my weight for that long. Patricia.

Thank you Patricia. You had a lot of patience to lose all of that weight.
Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
Oh wow, Beth! That chocolate cheesecake? looks amazing and I'm not surprised you saw sense in the end. Mind you, your willpower wasn't very strong from the start and I detected a definite loss of motivation as the verse proceeded:)) I enjoyed your verse style and those very clever, ambitious monorhymes which adapted themselves well to your theme.
In the 3rd line of the 1st stanza should it read: won't allow me to indulge (in) such as these? As ever you've injected character and lighthearted humour into your very pleasing post! Well done and good luck! Debbie

Thank you Debbie. I hate diets and the only one I'm own was the one the dentist put me on and that is too be sure I don't use my implants until my gums firm up. I could just have cold very soft food. That translates to ice cream. lol
Comment from Pam Lonsdale
Well, you're being reviewed by the wrong person. I gave people diets and exercises to follow most of my professional career, and never minded either myself.
But you're in the majority here, and that pie looks pretty good to me.
A fun rhyme, Beth. Good luck in the contest.

Thank you Pam. I"m glad you like my fun poem. I'm not really on a diet other than the one my dentist put me on. Only soft and cool food for the next month. Sounds a lot like ice cream. lol

Thank you for the tip Marilyn. I've been meaning to use some of jello power anyway. I'll try it but it sounds like next to a tasty starvation diet.
Comment from Begin Again
After having five kids, I think my waistline became a permanent extra large and then some.... I can starve myself or eat chicken and spinach salads for months and nothing happens. Say the word diet and I am over the top starving. And that chocolate pie.... how about we sit down and eat the whole thing.
Smiles, Carol

Me too Carol. Nothing happens when I diet either. Well I do lose in my face as if that isn't saggy enough already.

Enjoyed your fun poem, Beth! Loved all your multiple rhymes and fun rhythm. Yes, forget the diet and just indulge sensibly and eat healthy most of the time! But hope with your implants you can eat healthy food!

Thanks Helen. They asked me what I hoped to get for having implants, a beautiful smile, a man, just to look nicer. I said no I wanted to be able to eat. That is went they should have told me the teeth aren't really for eating. They are just of looks. LOL Thanks for the review on my poem.

I got a laugh out of this. I loved your take on the temptation topic. Being tempted to quit dieting and exercising is something to which most people can relate. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.
