Boring

[gman1961]

You are boring someone said to me ,but at least I'm thinner can't you see.

I asked why is that so, because I only eat this and that dont you know.

No bread or toast you don't eat anymore ,you want to go running,that makes me a bore .

I said back I'd rather be that way, after all the effort for five weeks .I still have cakes ,alcohol and some treats.

I may put weight on whilst I am away,but off if it will come off hip hip hooray.

So thanks to you all on this great place ,I can get advice and show my face .but ones things for sure and will be true ,I'll never be boring with whatever I do.

Thanks

Gary

I agree with Marylou54 - it's never boring with you around. Your poems and your presence in the forum make it ever more enjoyable and interesting.

Hope you're enjoying your holiday!

If some tells me I’m ‘boring’ for not having a drink I reply “you don’t know me very well!”😂😜

Ignore them Gary . . . Nothing boring about being slimmer and fitter 😊

I hate it when people tell me I "have" to get drunk at least once. Why? I have no desire to behave like an idiot and then feel horrible the next day. If other people want to endanger their own health that's their business, but I'll darn well do what I want with my own body, thanks!

I agree with the others, you're definitely not boring gman1961 !

[Villageduckpond in reply to VickyDLM]

VickyDLM , I find the 'have to get drunk' phrase interesting.....what is it they cannot face up to if they don't get drunk?

[kiwikyd-nz in reply to Villageduckpond]

I love hearing people say "It was a great weekend", and when you ask what they did - they can't remember. ???? How can it be a great weekend if you can't remember? lol

[VickyDLM 2 stone in reply to Villageduckpond]

I have no idea, VDP. I've never understood it myself! Maybe it's the lure of the forbidden, or the idea that you have to be plastered to have fun?

I totally agree with that, kiwikyd-nz , not sure what the point is if you don't remember it!

[Villageduckpond in reply to VickyDLM]

I remember years ago now a friend telling me that when her son went drinking with his friends there was a competition to see who could be sick first.....

[VickyDLM 2 stone in reply to Villageduckpond]

Makes my liver hurt just thinking about it....

They never learn ,happened about three times now whilst away.

Gary

[gman1961 Restart April 2025 in reply to Villageduckpond]

Just can't remember that's what they say .

Same old same old ,they will never change.

[gman1961 Restart April 2025 in reply to VickyDLM]

I can get drink without the need of help from anyone else lol .

The drink and food police are out .

Thanks for the support.

[Villageduckpond in reply to IndigoBlue61]

How rude of them anyway. As if it is any of their business! As IndigoBlue61 says nothing boring about being slimmer and fitter so ignore them, please.

[gman1961 Restart April 2025 in reply to IndigoBlue61]

Thanks Anna ,

This is a person who knows me .

Gary

[gman1961 Restart April 2025]

I can't understand why they are so concerned .

I don't have to eat and drink the same as them .

I can excercise if I choose to,what are they worried about ?

Well said!!

[RG07 Host Maintainer]

They maybe jealous and don’t like the fact that you have changed your habits and happier for it

[gman1961 Restart April 2025 in reply to RG07]

I thinks that's so true .

Gary

[13Valerie]

Rise above their jealousy ....

[gman1961 Restart April 2025 in reply to 13Valerie]

Thanks 13Valerie,

So kind .

here's to boring!! Some people have a funny way of revealing their jealousy for someone who is taking control of their health and wellbeing!!

[gman1961 Restart April 2025]

Not me let them drink themselves into oblivion.

The bigger the group,the more differences show up.

My friend is like a hoover at the table ,and then says they don't eat carbs at home,doing very well whilst away.
