Hahah, you have such a lovely sense of humor, Maria. Thanks for sharing this tortuous experience with us. So many of FS writers can relate. Great read.

Join the club! I've been on a diet most of my life! I lose it, I gain it (and some) I lose it again, and guess what... yep, you've got it. Good luck, Maria, I'm on one too, (again) so let me know if you succeed. Sandra :)) xxx

Comment from Louise Michelle
LOL - this is really cute and very relatable. I was skinny my whole life (except when I was pregnant) and found myself gaining 25 lbs. about three years ago.
I've since learned how to keep the weight off. Exercise, of course, but I snack on low calorie stuff. For example, I'll eat breakfast cereal instead of chips. The crunch is the same. So much of diet is psychological. You just have to brainwash your mind into enjoying different things.
I'm glad you won't be eating the cat. If her cat food starts looking delicious to you, then you're in trouble, hahaha. Hugs, Lou

I put on very little weight while pregnant, but now I'm at my fattest and I'm not happy. So I have to change it.
Thanks for reading.

This is a great opportunity for you to write LOTS of stuff - it will take your mind off food LOL. This is well written and it will strike a strong chord with many folks here since everyone has experienced the hunger pangs of dieting at one time or another. Well done and thank you very much for sharing it.

I might write a whole novel based on food or lack of...
Thanks for reading.
Comment from aryr
Oh my, Maria, the poor kitty, lol, I read your notes and I know it doesn't have to worry. Your son is right about the jello, it is rather tasteless. I do believe the old saying comes into play- 'if it tastes good, it's bad for you'. Well done on this short story and I will pray for your slimness- just stick with it.

Comment from JudyE
As soon as I go on a diet, all I can think about is food. It's such a shame that everything that is bad for you tastes so good. It hardly seems fair.

You're so right. It should be the other way around.

Comment from CharR
Thank you for sharing your journey. Those first lines sound exactly like me. This year for lent I gave e up worrying about my weight. I thought it'd be liberating, I gained 20 pounds and feel more imprisoned! Keep trying. Even if you don't lose, it's important not to gain (a lot). I hope you keep posting!!

This time I hope to lose the weight for real. It's the first time I do it with the help of a nutritionist. My neighbor has lost 30 kilos (around 60 pounds) with her.
Thanks for reading.

Good Luck! Sounds like a great plan. I lost 50lbs a few years. I had to be perfect every day. It was too hard to keep up. But being imperfect kept me 30 down ;) I've gotten rejuvenated lately. Joined a gym and eating better, but midlife is making it extremely difficult...

Joining a gym and eating better are the best things you can do. Good luck!
Comment from Sally Law
I'm not worried you might eat the cat. Roasted chicken is quite good, just remove the skin before eating. My downfall is sugar, especially chocolate anything. This is fun and fresh.
Pray, is there anything more grueling than a diet?
I will be rooting for you, Maria. :+)
Sending you my best today with kind encouragement.
Sal xoxo

Comment from Roxanna Andrews
I've come to the conclusion that sawing off a limb is the only way I'm going to lose weight. My Dr says I have to for my health, and I'm really trying and have lost some, but it takes so long!! I hope you do well on yours and I'm so glad you're not going to eat your cat. They have so little meat on them, I don't think it would be very satisfying. ={ Fun post. Rox

Comment from Lobber
Ah yes, the endless quest for slimness and beauty... there are societies where far people are revered... you could move there ... OR just say >I'm on a seafood diet... whenever I see food I eat it.<
