Consumption Junction



Consumption Junction, where’s your gumption?
Eating up meals and morsels and snackses.
Consumption Junction, why no gumption?
I got three favorite meals
That get me in trouble.
Consumption Junction, eating dysfunction?
Too much "breakfast", "lunch", and "dinner",
That’ll get you pretty fat.

“And”:
That’s problematic, eating "this and that".
"But":
That’s sort of making excuses,
"Not now *but* later".
And then there's "or":
O-R, you always have a healthy choice like
“This or salad”.
No “And’, “but", just “or”,
That’ll help you lose some more.

Consumption Junction, where’s your gumption?
Hooking up folks with info and making ‘em eat right.
Skim milk, honey, bread (no butter), peas, brown rice.
That’s good advice!
Fresh and healthy, sauteeing and stewing,
Making less you by a pound or two.
You’re way more smarter with what you chew,
Whooo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

Consumption Junction, eating dysfunction?
Looking up calories and fat
When you say something like this choice:
"Either now or later"
Or no choice:
"Neither now nor not never"
Grammatically incorrect? Whatever!
Eat this or that, grow thin not fat,
Never mind, I wouldn't do that,
I'm fat enough now!

>> Consumption Junction, got new gumption.
Cooking up meals and snackses that balance, like:
Out of the frying pan and into the steamer.
Still drink my coffee,
But the cup ain’t half full of creamer.

Let’s downsize our portions.,
And please learn this lesson.
You should always say "thanks, no",
When you’re offered seconds.

Consumption Junction, eating dysfunction?
Making good choices when we’re at a luncheon.
Consumption Junction, how's that function?
No longer eating foods that’ll lead to destruction
Consumption Junction, got new gumption.
I'm going to get you there if you're very careful.
Consumption Junction, no more dysfunction?
I'm going to get you there if you're very careful.
Consumption Junction, what's your function?
I'm going to get you there if you're very careful.

I'm Just a Blog



Boy:
Wow! This sure is a crappy little waste of internet real estate. But I wonder who’s this sad little scrap of nonsense?

Blog:

I'm just a blog.


Yes, I'm only a blog.

And I'm sittin’ here like a bump on a log.

Well, it’s a long, long journey

To your weight loss goals.
It’s a long, long wait

With a bunch of other lost souls.

But I know I’ll be at goal someday.

At least I hope and pray I will, dawg,

But today I am still just a blog.


Boy: Gee, Blog, you certainly have a lot of patience and courage.

Blog: Well I got this far. When I started, I didn’t even have a single follower. I was just an idea. The person that started me decided he wanted to make a positive change in his life, and said, “You know, maybe I should write a blog myself.” Then he sat down and wrote me out and introduced me to the internet. And I became a blog, and I'll remain a blog until I get to goal… and maybe even longer.

I'm just a blog
Yes I'm only a blog,

But I’m loyal as a loyal hound dog.
But I was stuck in a body

That was way too rotund.

And found that livin’ life obese
Just ain’t any fun.
It’s time to get my bad self in check

How I pray that I will, dawg,
But keep in mind that I’m just a blog.

Boy: Look at all those encouraging comments! Is all that discussion and debate about you?

Blog: Yeah, I'm one of the lucky ones. Some blogs never attract very much attention. I hope it keeps the motivation revved up, otherwise I might diet.

Boy: Do you mean “die”?

Blog: I meant “diet”, dumbass. This is a weight-loss blog, after all.

Boy: What happens now?

Blog: Well, I weigh in, and then the whole thing starts all over again.

Boy: Oh no!

Blog: Oh yes!

I'm just a blog.

Yes, I'm only a blog.
But I’m comin’ in from outta the fog. 

Well, now I’m off for my work out

With my personal trainer.
My iPod blaring “I Will Survive”

By Gloria Gaynor.
If I keep it up,
I’ll soon be at goal.
How I hope and pray I will, dawg,

But today I am still just a blog.


Boy:
You mean even if you blog every single day, you still might not get at goal?

Blog: Yes, that's called Goofing Around. If you blog but don’t get serious about the journey you’re on, then it’s just wasting everybody’s time.

Blog: Wow, I didn’t realize there was so much to getting fit. It's not easy to get to goal, is it?

Blog: No!

But how I hope and I pray I will, dawg,

But today I am still just a blog.


Scale:
He just weighed in, Blog! Now you're at goal!

Blog: Oh yes!!!
