Spice drops and Red Vines and black licorice poodles
french fries with chili and cheese, bring me oodles!
Fatty Fatty two by four with Lays tater chips
Recipes follows, it's my favorite dip!
Shovelling handfuls in my big gob,
eating just like a pig
I simply forget how much crap that I eat, and wonder why I'm so BIG
FATTY FATTY TWO BY FOUR DIP (courtesy of Cyd Summers)
1 pint sour cream
1 pint cottage cheese
Lipton onion soup mix, to taste anywhere from one packet to two, Cyd prefers 1 and a half
couple shakes of worchestshire sauce (Cyd likes French's)
a pinch of dried chives
a tsp of garlic granules
squeeze of fresh lemon
MIX ALL TOGETHER AND EAT , YUM!
1. EAT LIKE A PIG- eat all yourself with Lay's potato chips (family size, my fave) or Lay's Wavy chips (Cid's favorite)
2. EAT LIKE A PRINCESS- share with your family and friends, and add veggies to the dippers
3. EAT LIKE A PAUPER- change the recipe and use non-fat cottage cheese and non-fat sour cream, or yogurt, try a half-teaspoon, realize it taste like crap and give to the cat or toss.
Here's a list of more of my favorite things.
Del Taco French Fries, Mcdonald's French fries, Jack-in-the-box tacos, KFC original chicken, breast, with coleslaw and potatoes and gravy, Tommy's Burgers, Pizza Hat deep dish pizza, Carl's Jr's zuccini,
Is it any wonder I've put on a pound or two? Now, here's a list of what the diet people say we should love- tofu, sprouts, acai berry, tofurkey, . Yuk. This is why "take two" and "think fruit" is working for me.
So how, is that working. Well, pretty good. When I am eating my favorite things, I just take two, two cookies, two tacos, or a taco and fry (small for both) , and since I am thinking fruit and eating fruit three times a day, I am not eating as much other crap. Go figure, and not a tofu milkshake in sight!

DIET
I remember my first diet. Some of my girlfriends and I started freezing yogurt and putting it in our school locker for lunch, instead of eating whatever our mothers made us, or the school lunch. Yum. Yogurt . Nothing else for lunch.
Then, of course there was the sunflower seed diet. Eat other things if you had to, but the basics of the diet was sunflower seeds.
Then, Weight-Watchers. At least four times that I paid for, plenty of times that I didn't.
Nutri-system was a really good idea. I started Nutri-System which cost about $300 to join, about 23 years ago. They only had dehydrated food then. It probably wasn't a good idea to join right before I went to Club Med. That lasted one dehydrated meal at the "summer camp for adults".
I then decided I wasn't going to diet any more, so with my friends, we met at a "Diets Don't Work" weekly meeting. The most successful of the women there started using "Atkins" diet. I put on even more weight with that.
I then tried the "cabbage soup" diet. I remember that one well and so does my family. I started that right around the time the Winter Olympics was on. Even with beano, I wasn't fit to be with other humans. They locked me out of my own house and I had to watch the Olympics through the picture window in the living room. That was brutal! (and the fam would agree).
A few years ago, after finding out I had high blood pressure, I started a diet of my own design, the "is it gonna kill me diet". That lasted about a month. The idea was to not eat anything I thought would eventually kill me. Corned beef and cabbage ruined that. St. Patrick's Day, I'm a sucker for it. There's the end of "is it gonna kill me."
One diet that never works for me is "Trauma Trim". I may lose my appetite for a short period of time after major trauma, but it doesn't last long. It's worked great for a couple of friends of mine going thru divorce.
If "diet and exercise" really worked, wouldn't we all do it? I think it doesn't work. I think everybody has to decide what is right for them, what they feel in their souls and then do it. Most people are not 200 lbs overweight, or even 100 or even 50. Most overweight people are 20 to 30 lbs overweight, and they are just fine, thank you very much. They should just not worry and accept themselves.
The rest of us do need to think about it, and do what is right for themselves. That is what I am doing with "think fruit" and "take two" and that is going really well. Update on "think fruit" and "take two" next time.

TAKE TWO
TAKE TWO. Now what does that mean? Take two could mean take two whole turkeys to eat, or two grapes. Try as I might, I get no other message except for TAKE TWO, why not one? Why not three? And two of what? Nope, only take two.
So far, this is what it means to me. Take two, does not mean "Oh, thank you very much, I think I'll have another piece of pie", but it might mean "Yes, indeedy, I will have TWO pieces of that delicious See's Candy". It also doesn't mean, I will have TWO strawberries, or TWO GRAPES, OR TWO kiwi fruit, because when thinking fruit, I don't care how much I eat, I will each just as much fruit as I want, as long as it is fresh.
It might mean, I really only need two bites of Milky Way candy bar, though. I really don't need the whole thing. And it might mean, two Hershey kisses instead of two dozen.
Good things just plain come in twos, and that could mean you and that sweet spouse of yours, or it could mean your own good two legs, two eyes, or two arms.
So far, taking two for me has meant 1. At Der Wienerschnitzel, I got one chili cheese dog and one small fry, instead of two chili cheese dogs and a fry, because of course that would be three and 2. Same day, two pizza pieces and not three or four.
Now, some might argue, that chili cheese dogs or pizza pieces should come in NO pieces, not two, However, I would argue, that I don't trust people who really think that tofu is a subsitute for ANYTHING, and not just tofu, or they really do colon cleanses, and check their BMI's etc. These people are killjoys and not like you and me and cannot be trusted!
So, when eating Think Fruit, first of all, and with everything else, Just Take Two.

OSMOSIS
I am trying to figure out how to lose weight by OSMOSIS. PRAYER, VOICES IN MY HEAD. I don't know what that means, really. But, I guess it is mostly by "the inner monologue". How do you know the inner monologue is something you should even listen to instead of a sign you're loony tunes.
Well, if the inner monologue says things like "blow up the state capital" or "run down Beach Blvd with pigeons on your head swinging your cat by the tail", then maybe your are stark-raving mad. If the inner monologue says "I want to change my outer self, so I think I should stop drinking Diet Coke", then maybe you're ok. In my case, IM, (inner monologue) wasn't quite that succint regarding Diet Coke-it was more like "you don't need that crap any more".
So, these are the inner monologues (IM) so far. "Think Fruit", and "Take Two", and "you don't need that crap anymore". Gotta go to work. More on "Think Fruit" later
