Ain' nothin' like box of one pound box of Creamettes, a two pound slab of colby, whole stick of real butter, 'salt n peppa' and 4 percent milk bubblin' in the oven for some down home MacNCheeze!! Adkins can kiss my chocolate chips. So world, I say "Eat Hearty" (what gets us all in trouble is we sit on our butts too long during the day).

blessin's,

Bring it on Karla! What an exciting work by you! I know myself the feelings you describe. I have a huge food habit. But at times the pie and ice cream taste so could that I scream for more pie and ice cream! Got to stop commenting now dear it is time to eat, eat eat. Hugs and love your friend Bill xx

Great rant Karla! I'm with you to a point. I say all things in moderation, and that means everything. They are now finding that cutting out one or the other is not the best route. Watch,I heard that in a few months they'll be out with some new findings about how being fat is not as bad healthwise as many think, even though it doen't always look good;-)

AMEN, Karla!! This is so good and I, too, must have my carbs! I am sure the Atkins diet works, but (A.) I need to put on a few pounds and do not need to diet and (B.) I am a pasta freak, so it would never work for me, even if I did need to diet. Great rant.
Take care,
Love,
Jill

RIGHT ON, Karla! Screw them diet cops and the doctors that all the time ask, "why are you not losing weight?" as they sit there smoking a cigarette and munching on snacks in their offices...
Die happy and make a good corpse, that is the only way to go! Peace, Ed & Rufuz (and eat what ya want.) Remember you're not out of shape, round is a shape too!

"Can't I be fit and fat, too?"

That is, indeed, a very good question! We better call Dr. Phil.
