Anne-Lise Andresen Poet Free verse

- Is It Fair -

I have heard: Women burn fat almost 10% slower than men
           It's does not feel justified
           I have heard: Women live on average 3 years longer than men
           Women have a better durability date (used before: .. - ... - .....)
           Men: (must be used within: .. - .. - ....)
           Why is it only women who are thinking about calories and diets
           I bake delicious cakes .... that can only be eaten by my husband
           ..... I think I'll try one more piece :)

Carol Eastman April 25, 2013 at 12:33 PM True... True... But why listen to all that diet stuff... Just put artificial sweeteners in every thing. My hubby is diabetic. But cooking for him allow me to eat more for less calories... Good write.

Phyllis Babcock April 17, 2013 at 10:56 AM My husband loses weight fast. Years ago we went on a diet together. I walked and he did no exercise. In two months I lost 2 pounds and he lost 20 and in 4 months I lost 4 pounds and he lost 40. Talk about giving up on diets.

Connie Marcum Wong April 17, 2013 at 2:12 AM This is so true. My husband skips a meal and loses 5 lbs. I fasted for 8 days one time and lost nothing. It is just so unfair. I used to bake, but it is too hard to resist something yummy, so I quit baking. Baby loves my softness, so that is a plus. Enjoyed this.

Sara Kendrick April 13, 2013 at 5:04 PM Women were designed to put on fat and carry some fat so that they could be pregnant then breast feed those babies..It seems unfair that our men die out before their women leaving the women to fend for themselves for a period of time..We need to take better care of our man even if we have to slip the better foods for them in there some way..Thanks for stopping by..This one is a great reminder that life is short and that we should make each second count..Sara Anne-Lise Andresen April 14, 2013 at 4:17 AM ....so true Sara!
