Whole New Attitooed

There once was a fair swanky maiden
Who each week at Weight Watchers weighed in
    Her whole new attitude
    On her arm fresh tattooed 
Heaped desserts no more for her laden

I was in a limerick-creating mood today, and then I read this and said "Line was too!" I used to weigh in every week at Weight Watchers. This poem is a fun reminder of that.

So funny that we would both be in a limerick writing mood, Caren.

Sometimes it's good to have a little excess weight in case you get sick and lose it. Great Limerick, Line!

If one had it tattooed , that would certainly discourage backsliding! I am so happy to have found the secret and not have to pay weight watchers for it!! Just eat LOTS of plant based foods!!!
