How to lose weight almost perfectly: have a pity poetry party, instead
February 23, 2010 By: almostgotit Category: UncategorizedOde to Peanut Butter
O,
How long it doth take
To scrape a single tablespoon of peanut butter
Across the vast and arid plane
Of one whole-wheat matzos.
But the good thing is
That such a tiny,
tiny
layer of God’s Greatest Gift
Will not fall, yea:
Shall not even drip
From that blessed surface
Even if held upside-down.
Which is good
As upside-down is the only way to eat it,
Lest the tongue
Miss the blessing completely.

(p.s. — but I *am* down 10+ pounds! Hurray, Weight Watchers!)

Congratulations! There’s a point to the penitence, then?

I’d still rather have it on a Ritz cracker with jelly.

10 pounds is great! (I prefer crunchy peanut butter myself!)

Good for you! I just measured out a tablespoon of peanut butter, in fact, as my own weight loss has plateaued, so I am battening down the hatches and being obnoxious with weights and measures and journaling. I was actually surprised by how much there is in an actual tablespoon of pb–much more than I typically allow myself. I was disappointed last night, though, by just how LITTLE an ounce of Cognac amounts to. Meh.
Keep up the good work.

Good on ya! I need to do that.
As to peanut butter, I ate so much of it when I was pregnant, we called our daughter Paula Peanutbutter for her first five years. She’s equally hooked at 33. It’s the very Stuff of Life.
