Dreadful diet But I'll deny it I’m a hypocrite One banana split Won’t hurt a bit But as I go to sit My jeans seams split I’m not proud of it Healthy diet I will try it Must grill it Not fry it Buy gym kit I must commit And not quit Lose weight… quite a bit Now my clothes fit I’m proud of it!

I'm a real yoyo, up and down, greasy foods, salad days, thin or plump, the last couple of months I'm on salad days, but oh my gosh, yearned for a pizza tonight and broke my three month diet, my husband was pleased, he said he was beginning to feel like a rabbit! Fun poetry my friend. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer. Jennifer.

Ha Ha... I’ve got this all figured. I cut down until people say I look ill then I gradually go up until I decide I’m too big... then I start over. My clothes always fit... perhaps because in my wardrobe I have jeans in 32, 34 and 36 inch waist. Good luck in contest, Jan. Terry.

Ah, I only know Marmite by watching the comedian, when he serves it with toothpicks, I feel diet never work, I rather eat less but dam it, eat it I will, lol thanks Jan, have a blessed day :)

A moment on the lips a lifetime on the hips, lockdown hasn't helped Jan with comfort eating. It's so depressing when you try on old clothes and you think they've shrunk, thats my excuse anyway lol Good luck in the contest. Tom

Pure fiction David I actually hate buying clothes because I am small and have never been on a diet in my life (and with covid we have fewer clothes shops open here and we were limited in the first place:-( hugs Jan xx
