Don'T Dwell On It - Magicicada 13

give priority
to veggies . . . 
weight will drop right off

June 24, 2018 
For Maureen McGreavy's MagiCicada 13 - Body and Mind Poetry Contest

All my life I struggled with counting calories, different diets, etc. When I stopped stressing and just emphasized in my life consuming more salads & other veggies, particularly at dinner time, I got much better results! My tip for those interested!

Jerry T Curtis June 26, 2018 at 6:52 AM This is true, a positive approach to any problem is far more successful than the usual negative way we as humans respond. Good Advice. Wishing you much success ! Andrea Dietrich June 26, 2018 at 6:23 PM Thanks, Jerry.

Arturo Michael June 26, 2018 at 1:18 AM Veggies are everything and once physically active...you're in the business...then can occasionally indulge in your favorites...Nice recommendation Andrea Dietrich June 26, 2018 at 6:23 PM Yes, and believe me, I DO indulge in other things I love more than a few times per week!

Agnes Krampe June 25, 2018 at 6:54 PM That's a clever take on the prompt. I have always been a veggie lover.

Faraz Ajmal June 25, 2018 at 5:48 PM Ahh, you have given a great advise to everyone, my mother tries this method for a long while but never really lose her weight, so in the end she just give up, lol, she thinks that even cow eats leaves yet they are fat, so there is no point, what i believe is that life is too short to worrt about these things, enjoy it to it's fullest, eat whatever your heart desires, and have no worries, Andrea Dietrich June 26, 2018 at 6:00 PM It's sad it did not work for her, but also she needed to be eating good protein as well. Was she not active? Maybe she had glandular problems!!

Silent One June 25, 2018 at 2:24 PM Nice one Andrea..

Charlie Smith June 25, 2018 at 1:11 PM Love my veggies between two all beef patties, Hmmn, could be my issue???

Lyric Man June 25, 2018 at 7:43 AM Hmmm.. rabbits eat salads daily. They appear plump to me. I'm so confused ;) enjoyed your write, Andrea!

Harry Horsman June 25, 2018 at 4:53 AM I agree with all you say,, a believer i am, of anything edible in moderation, works fine for me..

Ravi Sathasivam June 25, 2018 at 3:10 AM Excellent. Agree with you my friend. Thanks for the advise. Enjoyed reading it.

Connie Marcum Wong June 24, 2018 at 9:21 PM Very true Andrea, veggies rule! You can make them tasty with herbs and dressings as long as you don't go overboard. Shrimp is another low cal food that helps to give you protein and goes well with veggies. : )

Paul Callus June 24, 2018 at 4:35 PM I agree with you, Andrea. Veggies certainly do the trick. But it's not only the weight that drops....I had to buy me a belt:) Regards // paul
