I am 103 years old based on this assumption.
Below are my "Before and After" pictures. Usually in the magazines the "After" photo is suppose to be motivation to use the product they are hocking but mine is more of a warning for what happens if you DO NOT use their product...
Before (Age 39) and After (Age 103)
My first diet was when I tried to lose 5 pounds (during lunch, running 4 miles in a plastic sweat suit) to make weight (138 lbs.) for a high school wrestling match and the most recent one began five days ago.
So, I have decided, in an effort to curb the hunger pangs, I would post a rambling rant on the dreaded-four-letter-word: Diet
First, let's begin with my "Ode To The Diet":
"D" is for the Donut whose consumption I must part,
"I" is for the Ice Cream that is no longer in my cart.
"E" is for Eating salads, fish and vegan,
"T" is for my Tastebuds who will go a beggin'...
Next, are a couple of observations: First, it is painfully obvious why the word DIE is part of this noun/verb. Secondly, if "...matter is neither created nor destroyed..." where does the weight I lose go? Does my weight loss magically appear on the hips of some poor Russian factory worker?
Additionally, Diet Jokes!
I went on a diet for two weeks and all I lost was 14 days.
If you eat something, and no one else sees you eat it, it has no calories.
When drinking a diet soda while eating a candy bar, the calories in the candy bar are canceled by the diet soda.
When you eat with someone else, calories don't count as long as you don't eat more than they do.
Foods used for medicinal purposes never count. Example: hot chocolate, 7up, toast and Sara Lee cheesecake.
If you fatten up everyone else around you, then you look thinner.
Movie-related foods do not have calories because they are part of the entertainment package and not part of one's personal fuel.Example: Milk Duds, buttered popcorn, Junior Mints and Tootsie Rolls.
Cookie pieces contain no calories, because of the process of breaking the cookie causes calorie leakage.
If you are in the process of preparing something, foods licked off knives and spoons have no calories.
Foods of the same color have the same number of calories. Examples: green salad and Key Lime pie, mushrooms and white chocolate.
If you eat the food off someone else's plate, it doesn't count.
If you eat standing up the calories all go to your feet and get walked off.
Food eaten at Christmas parties has no calories, courtesy of Santa.
And finally...
After faithful adherence to my diet for these last five days I told Margo I had lost 5 pounds!
She said, "No you didn't...it's right behind you..."
I hate diets.

I remember when you had that before picture taken and Margo and I laughing so hard in the kitchen that I was gasping for air. Good memories.
Diets are the bane of my existence... obviously. I 've never met a grain of sugar I didn't love.
Amen to your musings.
Dieting? what's that? the only dieting i ever do is to GAIN wait, but it must be hereditary in the family, cause I fail at my diets too! HA!... i dread the day i turn 40... and my metabolism comes to a screeching halt... much like it did yours... HA!
Dad, you're such a stud... err were... err are... err... well, just don't cut me out of your will...
It's not a diet, it's a life style change. I've resigned myself to the fact that forever more, I will feel guilt when eating that yummy piece of Texas Sheet Cake.
Besides, I think you are handsome in both pictures!
Love you,
m
good luck with your new diet!
