Daisy's Favorite 13 Reasons to STOP Dieting

(taken from 365 Reasons to Stop Dieting by Mary McHugh)

1. Dieting brings out your wrinkles.

2. Fifty thousand women who went on a low-fat diet for three years lost, on average 2 pounds. So put some cream cheese on that bagel!

3. You discovered procrastination caused stress, which causes overeating so you no longer put off trips to the fridge.

4. You'll improve your chances of being cast as Queen Victoria in your community theater.

5. You can hire a cute personal trainer and concentrate on his buns instead of Cinnabon.

6. The average American woman is 5'4 and weighs 140 pounds...Don't you want to be above
average?

7. They say the way to achieve inner peace is to finish what you start. Today I finished a bag of potatoe chips, a chocolate pie, and a small box of candy. I feel better already.

8. European and South American men will love the way you look.

9. Fifty percent of American women are on a diet at any given time. Strike a blow for independence!

10. A long walk with a good friend is good; sharing a big dessert with a good friend is better!

11. You'll discover how much fun it is to be a bad example!

12. Your not fat- You're womanly!

13. Holidays are exempt from dieting.....and ever day's a holiday somewhere!

The woman who won an Academy Award for her role in Dreamgirls said, "I'm not fat. I'm thick."

Actually I don't believe in dieting. I did when I was young and it created an eating disorder (swinging from fasting to binging). I try to eat just enough protein and fat so at each meal so that I am satisfied for a long time. Carbs make me tired and don't satisfy so I to very easy on the.

Those are VERY FUNNY...and just a bit true!! I wrestle with this so much. I know, though, that the real challenge is to be healthy and not worry so much about being "thin"...

Have a GREAT Thursday!!

Great list. I've been dieting for a year ... and I have relapses. So far 30 lbs gone. It's all from giving birth last year to a 11 lb baby.

Happy TT, thanks for dropping by mine.

This is really making me smile. Really smile because I hate dieting. Your list is in my favor.
Thanks for visiting last Sunday. I'm really sorry but wasn't able to post after that Sunday as I really had no time to post.
Thanks again.
