Your use of words says much about the attempt at weight loss and the returning to the same eating habits. Keeping your taste for food is an excellent use of words that shows how food has a hold on us.

It's not so much the how much but the what and when. If the answer to the first is potato crisps (Chips to Americans) and the answer to when is "I graze the whole day through" then you are elligible for honorary Welsh citizenship. So please apply to the Welsh Assembly, Merthyr Tydfil. PS dual nationality is quite acceptable as we wouldn't want you to give up anything.

It was clever how you included the line of poetry with the image. I had to look twice to realize that your entry was part of the 'whole picture', so to speak. Monostitch is difficult, I think, because you have so few words to work with to make an impact. Good job!

THE FUTILITY OF A WEIGHT LOSS EXERCISE
IS KEEPING YOUR TASTE FOR FOOD.


so true - but me of little appetite still
puts on weight - round the middle only
and ill health stops me from exercising - help!!

a clever use of words, Susan.

I read this one a few times. It's cleverly put together. I've just finished two packets of chocolate coated apple slices, yumm (they're only small, fortunately), so I could definitely identify with your poem...

Oh yummy, I too, sometimes indulge, but I am quite health conscious, so I really watch my weight. Thanks for the inspiring stars. God bless. Susan

I try as well, but even if I don't bring the chocolates into the house, my husband will...:)

Good job exploring a touchy subject for many. Your simple poem states so much in such a small space. The image and words are a great match. Good job and thanks for sharing.

Good one. Lol. The picture is perfect, but even without it, the poem would supply it's twin. Very well worded to impose a very vivid picture. Thumbs up.

Hi Susan - new style of poem for me but you have made a good job of this one. Clever and the picture really supports your poem. Well done. It's a bit like a fridge magnet joke I saw ' If God intended we exercise and touch our toes he'd have put chocolate on the floor'/ Regards Dorothy x
