"Moose Tracks On My Back"
I gained about 15 pounds in 2001.
I think it was some anti-crazy pills they had me on.
I quit the pills the same year,
but haven't lost the weight.
I've tried everything
except diet and exercise.
I'm dieting again,
and now I need those anti-nuts pills,
because all I can think about is ice cream!
It's more of an obsession when I'm on a diet.
I think it's "The Forbidden Fruit Syndrome".
At 4 o'clock every morning
I walk a brisk mile,
and then go to bed.
That should count for something.
I'm doing my half.
I take a Slim-Fast in the car when we go out
in case I get hungry.
Today, when I saw the Super Size Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
at the Wal-mart checkout counter,
Misty almost had to call Security.
She rushed me to the car for a Slim-Fast fix.
It's not the same.
I saw a fifty year old hot fudge sundae
in an old black and white Jimmy Stewart movie,
and I WANTED it!
I never realized how many food commercials are on TV.
As soon as one comes on
I start looking toward the refrigerator.
But, if I don't control myself,
I'll LOOK like a refrigerator.
I've got Moose Tracks on my back.
Right now,
I could eat anything that doesn't have a Social Security card.
