Gershon Wolf Poet Limerick

More Than Eating Less

Weight loss is about more than eating less
It's about how you handle daily stress
  Do you pause stress with food
  You really never should
For if you do, more flesh you will soon press

Shirley Hawkins March 15, 2022 at 5:16 PM I confess I should eat less, But keep shovelling in, I suppose I am a glutton for food, And that's a mortal sin. PS I enjoyed reading your Limerick, Gershon, especially the title.

Evelyn Judy Buehler March 14, 2022 at 9:05 PM Gershon, your clever limerick is a well-expressed reminder that overeating only causes more problems. Best wishes, Evelyn

Valsa George March 14, 2022 at 8:53 PM How true and so beautifully expressed in limerick form ! Some people eat more than they can digest when they are in stress ! Gershon Wolf March 15, 2022 at 6:42 PM I used to eat more than I could digest regardless of stress. That's how I became the BIG Bad Wolf! Watch for me in the sequel to the 'Three Little Pigs.' It's titled 'Wolf-hunting We Will Go... :) gw

Mystic Rose Rose March 14, 2022 at 7:47 PM Many people eat more when they are stressed others eat less, its an emotional roller coaster for some, the secret is to eat slowly and appreciate each morsel, thank you for the awareness here, many can understand this I'm sure :) Gershon Wolf March 15, 2022 at 6:36 PM Yes, indeed, Mystic. Awareness is the key, for sure... To actually think about the 'mystical act' of eating... ~ Taking it slow and chewing it well :) gw
