The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for January 18, 2024

She’s just upset that she didn’t get that doughnut.

Isn’t Brutus who broke the diet, but the diet who broke Brutus.

Brutus! LOL

Thanks to self discipline, I bought only one donut, instead of the three I was going to buy.

YEAH Brutus, stand up to resolutions and just say no. Don’t let resolutions define you, STAND up to the tyranny of resolutions…be yourself Brutus! OK, I’m done.

So says his criticizing wife about his breaking his diet, who looks like she has at least 40 pounds more weight up over him.

You go Brutus. Celebrate the small victories.

I don’t make resolutions.

Isn’t this a reprint from New Year’s Day?

50 years ago I resolved never to make any new years resolutions… so far, I haven’t broken it, yet…

The only real way to beat temptation is to give in.

She should be happy seeing that 5% of the year 2024 is already gone!

She’s just mad because she had her eye on that last donut and he beat her to it.

I like his positive outlook!

Perspective is important.

Gladys he’s practicing a form of enlightened self-interest

Gladys is taking after old battle axe mother. NAG!

Brutus is scarfing the last donut that Gladys had google eyes for.

Just clearing away the temptations from the kitchen.

Thank you Brutus . Now I have a retort for my Gladys .

I had to give up donuts years ago thanks to my diabetes. I guess it takes time, but eventually you don’t miss them.

sadly, it doesn’t work here with my house hold full of tattle tales. :(

Brutus has snapped his doughnut (or bagel) in half. That way, all the calories can leak out before he eats it.

Misquoting Sonny Curtis, “I fought myself and myself won”.

I’m in a constant state of resolving. Which makes sense ‘cause I’m in a constant state of breaking, too.

One must never deny or one will go on a binge….LOLAn occasional doughnut won’t hurt.

Wow he lasted this long, I’m impressed.

She’s a fine one to talk about self-discipline, she hasn’t even considered dieting.

But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified. 1 Cor 9:27

A very eloquent way of putting it if I do say so myself. Also, in any type of rehab program, relapsing is expected. Going cold turkey rarely works. So enjoy this and make best efforts to reduce your intake of calories in the future…..

Sorry Brutus but defeating your self discipline is a very low hurdle.

Hey Gladys triumphed over her self-discipline years ago and never looked back!

that kind of spin can make one dizzy

It’s all about reachable goals.

It’s a good thing he eats alone in that diner.

Any rationalization in a storm, Brutus.
