      The Frog's Blog

Hi friends. This blog is a labor of love and I want to continue writing every day for a long time to come. But I need a little help. The fees to maintain this website are getting costly for a little frog. If you enjoy reading my blogs, will you please donate a dollar or two, or whatever you can, to help me keep this site (and blog) up and running? I'm on PayPal at irwinquagmirewart@gmail.com. Thank you!

The scales of injustice

10/23/2015

I'm eating too many bugs. I know it. I've put on weight and I can't get around as good as I did. To make matters worse, my vet has given me the dreaded diagnosis...DIET. It's so hard to do, especially now that we're rapidly approaching the holiday season. It starts next Friday with Halloween. I'll be taking my baby brother Quigley "trick or treating" and I invariably end up eating half of his candy-coated bugs. Does that make me a terrible brother? I hope not. I have a sweet tongue...what can I say. Anything that taste's good just magically sticks to it. Then there's Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. Mom's a great cook, which doesn't help any. What's a poor, bug-addicted frog to do? So I've dug out my "scales of injustice" and will begin portioning out and weighing all of my food...and cutting down on my treats. It'll be tough, but I know I can do it. I'll look better and I'll feel better. I have to get a hop on it. If I don't, come New Years Day, I'll look like one of those Goliath frogs! The vet has also suggested I drive less and hop and swim more. This is sound advice for everyone...frog or human. Perhaps by the time I've gotten my weight under control, I'll have learned to control my eating on a day-to-day basis and then I won't have to feel deprived while I diet. I know it's my own fault that I'm in this mess. And the scales of injustice only feel that way; they're really a great tool to help regain my youthful shape. Don't let this happen to you. My advice, then, is to eat healthier and exercise more ...every day. Save the treats for special occaisions and limit the quantity. The holidays are just around the corner and there will be parties and lots of temptation. But we can all do it...we can be strong for each other. So if you see me eating one too many french flies...please say something. And I'll do the same for you.
​See you back here on Monday...and maybe I'll have lost a gram or two by then.
