And are your friends fat? That will help. This little story is funny and oh so relatable. Low calorie things are often very boring taste-wise unfortunately. If only water tasted like coca cola or sparkling wine. And boring low cal jelly tasted like cheesecake.

This story reminds me of all diets people go on, because the minute you tell yourself you're on a diet, all you want to do is eat! Maybe we should ban the word "diet" from our language, and that would make it easier, or at least save some cats.

The story is cute, funny and pulls together well on the tagline. Nice one!

LOL! You have perfectly described how I feel when I 'have to do this'!! ;) :) Pickles, too -- the small ones -- have no calories... always have a jar in the fridge to satisfy a hunger pang! :) ;) Thanx for sharing! ;) Yvette

P.S. So sorry for the delayed review - the beginning of school combined with getting the boys off to college (they're all out there now - so quiet round here!!) has me struggling to find a routine... I PROMISE to be there soon - and, believe me, that's more for the OCD blonde over here than for you - LOL! ;) ;) Take care!

Hahaha. I can imagine how hard it is to cut the carbs in a diet. You still feel hungry after eating fruits and vegetables. It takes a while to get used to eating like a rabbit.

The best addiction and diet advice comes from Yoda, try not, do or do not. A good tale of the struggles with trying to diet, as long as you try you will never lose weight, and the cat might end up in a stew.

A very well-written story about the dreaded diet where we feel hungry all the time and the pounds seem to stick and refuse to be lost no matter how hungry we get.

LOL, things are looking bad when the cat starts to look like something good to eat. That diet jelly really isn't worth the effort unless you pile it on some delicious Haagen Dazs vanilla or strawberry ice cream.

Keep us filled in on how it's going.

A most entertaining read tonight. :)

This is so cute! The photo and the story. We DO try, don't we? I have been fortunate (or shall I say unfortunate!) that I am on a medication to prevent migraines. It also prevents appetite and it has brought my weight down considerably. In fact, I got a little worried! DO NOT eat the cat, even if it smells like a chicken! This is very funny and conveys well the dieting struggle that the majority of us have suffered through.
Great job!
Wendy
