God vs. Satan - the food fight

I thought this joke was perfect for those of us trying to lose weight. :)

And God populated the Earth with broccoli and cauliflower and spinach and green and yellow vegetables of all kinds, so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives.

And Satan created McDonald's. And McDonald's brought forth the 99-cent double cheeseburger.

And Satan said to Man "You want fries with that?" And Man said, "Super size them". And Man gained pounds.

And God created the healthful yogurt, that woman might keep her figure that Man found so fair.

And Satan froze the yogurt, and he brought forth chocolate, nuts and brightly colored sprinkle candy to put on the yogurt. And woman gained pounds.

And God said "Try my crispy fresh salad."

And Satan brought forth creamy dressings, bacon bits and shredded cheese.

And there was ice cream for dessert. And Woman gained pounds.

And God said "I have sent you heart healthy vegetables and olive oil with which to cook them."

And Satan brought forth chicken-fried steak from Cracker Barrel so big it needed its own platter. And Man gained pounds, and his bad cholesterol went through the roof.

And God brought forth running shoes, and Man resolved to lose those extra pounds.

And Satan brought forth cable TV with remote control so Man would not have to toil to change channels between ESPN and ESPN2. And Man gained pounds.

And God said "You are running up the score, Devil." And God brought forth the potato, a vegetable naturally low in fat and brimming with nutrition.

And Satan peeled off the healthful skin and sliced the starchy center into chips and deep-fried them. And he created sour cream dip also. And Man clutched his remote control and ate the potato chips swaddled in cholesterol. And Satan saw and said "It is good."

And Man went into cardiac arrest.

And God sighed and created quadruple by-pass surgery...

And Satan created HMOs...

 

Down to 228.6 this morning. Let's see how long I can keep it off. :) Again not doing anything until I have to weigh and measure this weekend to be sure. But I like weighing every morning to see how I am doing and keep me on track.

I am making much better food choices. I love the 100 calories snacks! They come in handy when I want some crackers - they have wheat thins, cheeze-its and a snack mix. And when I want some sweets - they have keebler fudge striped cookies, chips ahoy chocolate chip cookies, oreos and shortbread cookies. The taste is the same - they are just smaller. For me the key is knowing how many snacks I should have in the day. I usually try to have two snacks during the day. If it isn't one of the 100 calorie snacks, I have fruit. Apples are a great weight loss enhancer and they don't taste half bad. :)

Have a great weekend and a happy Easter. I may not post as I will be out of town. Save travels to all. :)
