Course After Course

Not eating, I am content Eating, I am never satisfied I continue on my course ~ after course after course Today I will wait as long as i can Then I will eat and eat and eat ~ until I'm far past any conception of 'stuffed' I believe that this is going to end badly...

I believe it may have already ended badly.

I Eat to Live -- to Eat Again (and Again). Actually, I was a model of willpower until about age 66. I don't quite know what happened to me; perhaps I mellowed a bit with age. ~ Mellow Yellow

Gershon, Yes I love all the courses. Hungry just thinking about the feast. Perseverence rewarded, is there anything better? -Richard

Yes, I am a 'brilliant student' too, Richard -- as long as the courses include food. lol... But I have grown fat for the first time in my minute on this earth, and it's up to me to do something about it --- or lose a few precious seconds... Determination and Perseverance, gw

I laughed hard reading this. Of course it will end badly. I never overeat. Good morning! Enjoy your day. Here it is 12.30 night. So off to bed. Take care Rama

Good for you, Rama. You must have outstanding willpower and discipline.... I used to have it until about a 18 months ago, when it just evaporated on me. Something clicked in my head today, and I hope that I've summoned it up again. It is, sadly, probably a matter of life and death. Thanks for the good example. :) gw
