I’ve been living on just toast and yoghurt this week,
Which is okay, but not all that nice,
And especially when there is chocolate around,
I admit, a perennial vice.
But my innards are wonky, my back has gone south
And my throat is all miserable too,
So in the best interests of getting them right,
Well, what else is a hobbit to do?
Just to make matters worse, I must cook every day,
For my son, though he’s eating alone,
And as its cordon bleu, it’s as if, I aver
There are sins for which I must atone.
For I sniff the aromas and taste herbs and spice,
And ingredients from far and wide,
But I whimper and drool and I feel like a fool
When I serve and there’s no place to hide.
For his kitchen is heaven for any good cook,
An explosion for tastebuds and smell…
But it’s no paradise, and I have to think twice
‘Cause for me, it’s not heaven but hell.
But let’s look on the bright side, it’s doing me good,
Though it isn’t much fun for my taste,
There’s no point in whining, abstention’s refining
And doing great things for my waist.

Oh Sue! Poor you! Now if my mother in law had read that, she would have even taken your yoghurt away, on account of your throat issues!
Feel better soon, but at least there is one positive! Anything that helps lose weight ! 😉

The yoghurt is medicinal…and the throat isn’t sore. So she’s not having it 😉
Woman cannot live on toast alone ( even with butter and marmalade 😉 )

Between one thing and another, I’ve been to tired to eat. You’d think with the little I eat I’d be getting thinner wouldn’t you? I asked the nurse about that — I had lost 2 whole pounds since last year (wow) and she said “Yes, but your metabolism has dropped off too.” You just can’t win.
There ought to be at least one plus in with the minuses.
