I lost 15 pounds this past fall just by laying off high-glycemic things like pasta, potatoes and rice. Don’t forget that pasta is basically white flour with a little egg in it.

Can’t you just chew on the tobacco, spit it out into the handily placed spitoon at your feet and then drawl “fill your hands you sunovabitch” as you go for your guns?

tee hee.

(received the buttons Mig, they’re now spread around my handbag and jealous friends; I’m doing nice things for everyone and hopefully for you too.)

i think feldspar is like 85% glitter isn’t it, so that would fit in with what the other people were saying.

i went on a carrot diet once, where i ate nothing but carrots (i was just in that sort of a mood) and was pleased with the amount of weight i was losing until i noticed that my eyes were no longer tracking smoothly, but rather in little jerks. so i stopped.

i also once ate so many tangerines i turned orange. i went to see a doctor because i was orange, and he said “mikan takusan tabemasuka?” and i had to say, “hai, so desu.”

I’m now on a doctor-ordered heart-friendly diet, which means suddenly I can’t eat anything I used to eat except maybe bread. No salt, no butter, no fat, no cream, no chocolate, no cheese, no french fries, no anything else fries, etc. I have eaten something like (realistic guess) 30 carrot sticks today, and we don’t cut them small. I am eating as much as I want (more than I want, actually) of the limited menu of things (dandelions and feldspar, mainly) I am allowed to eat, and I noticed I’m starting to lose weight.

I wonder how much patience weighs?

Just say no to eating tobacco.

Me, I have to admit that since I quit smoking, I have taken up the nasty habit of party snuff-dipping – only the snuff that comes in little convenient packets. So I guess I kind of eat tobacco these days.

But I’m thinking of quitting.

Well, I’m eating tobacco, coffee, wine, and eggs.
Until the homicidal urges take over.
