Have you checked the weight on a small bag of sugar these days? The day of the 5lb bag of sugar has come and gone, my friends. It’s probably the same with flour. Why was I surprised? Why shouldn’t the sugar people follow the lead of the canned vegetable people, the spaghetti sauce people, and the pie filling people. If the milk people join in on this, I tell you I am done. DONE.
All I want to lose is 5 little pounds – the near-equivalent of a small bag of sugar. I need to lose my sugar, Sugar. One little ol’ bag of sugar ought to be easy to let go. But the mysterious code of the ancients that would, once deciphered, allow me to perform the proper spell to banish these pounds forever – it eludes me.
So I’m carrying this damn bag of sugar around my midsection like a freaking badge of middle-agedness. You can fool some-a da people some-a da time, but once you get that bag of sugar going on, you can’t fool nobody.
Damn those sugar people, anyway! And the candy bar people, too! And how come my Jumbo eggs ain't jumbo any more?
ReplyDeleteI got one of those damn bags of sugar right now too. I haven't been able to wear a lot of my favorite shirts, because of it. I got it while I was working on my degree --no time to exercise and late-night snacking. The burning question on my mind is, is this something I can work off, or is this some kind of middle-aged development that's here to stay?!!!
