I won but I lost!

You have got to love this one. As you know, I have been trying very hard to lose weight and have been walking, riding my bike, cutting back on sweets, and going to a 30-minute exercise class every day. I have lost no weight at all however. Last night was Bingo night so several of us girls rode our bikes to the recreation hall to try to win some money. Needless to say, none of us won any cash. Following the halftime break, they call door prizes, $10 prizes and a few little prizes. Wouldn't you know my number was called: I won but I lost! Just guess what the prize was: not a $10. bill, not a flower arrangement, not a gift certificate to the Shrimp Shack. No, I won a huge Hershey chocolate bar, a really big one! It probably has 2,000 calories in it! Now, I love chocolate so you know I will have to eat some. One of my friends who is also on a diet and won some Hershey Kisses actually flushed hers down the toilet! Oh, if only I had such will power!! Then, today, I heard that the results of a 10-year study did not justify a low-fat diet for women over 62. I think I may just have to enjoy being pleasantly plump!
