C is for Cookie ."Nah " C is for Calories....


Preeta and Shania, Narissa and Lemonisa
Round de table eating.....(pam pa dam)
Bet yuh life is calories dey counting........
And if yuh ketch dem starvin
You can get all de food dey eatin
Doh make a row.......
De pounds pile on and de calories take over town
(Refrain sung to de tune Jean and Dinah)
**********************************************
Well , well , well !!!!!!!!!!! Look who's back ..... Sorry I took so long to post a new entry. I know that this blog is a form of comic relief to most of you guys. (hahaha) Well at least I hope so. Any ways things have been very hectic. School is ah pain , the people job is ah pain ,individuals are a pain. I sure yuh get de drift. So yuh would think with all this stress I would lose a good five pounds. Nada , nien , non , zippo. Yep I probably gain a pound or two or twelve. Anyways I was thinking that I need to revamp my diet and exercise plan , yep that is the only way I could win the battle of the bulge ...... So since school just start back and I back in school mood I'm going counting . Yes counting is de plan .
**********************************
Way back in '05 when I was trying to lose weight(for Tribe ) I came up with the bright idea of counting calories ... Now math is not my forte and counting calories gets a bit tedious and annoying . But when you start counting it does wonders . Yep counting cals made me think twice about what I put in my mouth yes . Not that I accustom putting any old thing in my mouth (cause I ent that kinda girl ) . Any way back to the point . So when I started counting calories and writing down every thing that I was eating , one piece of guiltiness hit meh , whap in meh arse . Why ? Now yuh wondering why I feeling guilty about eating , because when all those numbers add up , papa I felt like changing meh name to Pretty Pig, Lovely Hog or Beautiful Swine . Yep I was really pigging out .
*****************************************
That really put things into perspective . Every little bite is a calorie . De only thing that is calorie free is water , salt , tea (sans sugar , and yuh know how I feel about that ) and coffee . So I started to get really paranoid about the things I was putting in meh mouth . See me reading labels with a magnifying glass and with my calculator adding up cals (math ent my thing hence de calculator ). If an item did not have a label, I was not eating it . I even got a book about the calories in a thousand different food items. If yuh did ask me how much calories in a raisin or a grape seed I could have told you .
****************************
Counting calories became a part of my life . Like brushing my teeth or playing in Tribe , it was a given . My friends started calling my CCC, not Civilian Conservation Corps (remember dem ?) but Clementina de Conscientious Calorie Counter. And I became the worse dinner companion yuh could ask for. So dey stop inviting meh out to eat. But ask meh if I did care ???? Nope , I was losing weight and that year I was on like boil corn (275 cal)... So I think that calorie counting is going to be the lick for this year. Well I better go and purchase meh Texas instrument and I off to count some cals ..... 1, 2 , 3 ,400, PAPA 5000 CALS .......

Oh wow.....we have something in common.....I like things in my mouth and you have a propensity towards things in your arse...but the good thing about my likes is that i can brush my teeth after and continuous enemas can be a little irritating to the rectum....so since you know me so well why are you hiding behind the anonymity of the web...maybe you should get your own blog that is solely devoted to the ORAL LIKES AND DISLIKES OF MOI...you are such a friggin loser that I don't even know why I'm bothering to respond to this but anyhoo please don't be so kind as to respond as I am not going to engage in a war of words with a jackass. Your attempt at insulting me has fallen flat……next time try be a little more creative than an 11 year old trying their hand at the great tradition that is PICONG…….
