...your mother has gained 5 inches on her waist!

How about some inspirational poems and couplets - easy to remember when you are tempted and reaching for the biscuit tin!

a bit like classic Victoria Wood.

Don?t scoff on that easter egg
You?ll end up looking like Simon Pegg
(In ?run fat boy? run)
and never have Thandi Newton?s bum!

I like: "Better in the bin than on my bum"

Rhymenocerous · 20/03/2008 21:16

Oh, I once had a woman say to me whilst eatig a bug cream bun, "Got to feed me fat".

Say's it all really.

How about in miserablist Radiohead stylee,

Don't eat that
don't give into self loathing
and will never be good enough
never fit into Boden's clothing

haha!

Greensleeves · 21/03/2008 12:07

a woman asked me yesterday if I was pregnant

I said "no, I'm just fat"

Monkeytrousers · 21/03/2008 12:08

I keep catching sight of myself in the mirror and withering up inside

A minute on your lips, a lifetime on your hips!

My friend used to say that to me when we were teenagers. She is now about a size 30 and I am a 12/14 so really she should have taken her own advice!
