20 Things I've Learned From Dieting

  • Dieting is the direct opposite of everything else in life. It's easier to gain, than it is to lose.

  • If you're not allowed to eat it on your diet, then it's all you'll want.

  • kitchen tables are suppose to be a place of joy, not weeping and gnashing of teeth.

  • Exercising builds muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat. Which means it's possible to eat right, exercise and gain at your next weigh in. Breaking your scale isn't the solution

  • My scale and I have a love/hate relationship. It loves to hate me.

  • We're going to need another scale...

  • When on a diet, you'll find that there's a fast food joint on every single street corner in town.

  • Even gross fast food sounds better that a low calorie microwaved boxed meal. Not surprising really.

  • If your portion of food is bigger than the palm of your hand, then it might actually fill you up.

  • Counting calories. It's like gambling for dieters. "Hit me with a string cheese!"

  • I've been on a diet for three weeks and all I've lost is my sanity.

  • Nonfat, no-whip, sugar free tall mochas, aren't worth $4.50.

  • If you plan on cheating, do yourself a favor and don't weigh in for a couple of days. We just bought a new scale...

  • Extra cheese doesn't count, if ordered on a vegetarian pizza.

  • While dieting, the world seems packed with skinny people eating hamburgers and fries.

  • Do what I do. Wish them fat. I know it works because someone did it to me 13 years ago...

  • Comfortable jeans really are their own reward.

  • Even if it's only because you dare not wash them!

  • I like mushrooms, bell peppers and tomatoes but lets not pretend it wouldn't taste SO MUCH better on a pizza

  • I'm not overweight, I'm just prepping for an extended Antarctic expedition...but we're gonna need more dogs for the sled.
