An old friend called yesterday. She said she has lost over 80 pounds. Hoping for some miracle diet, I asked how, but received that boring, old "I walk 45 minutes a day and eat nothing white." Why, just once, can't someone say "I eat nothing but rich dairy products, steak, and cheesecake and drink only chardonnay. And the doctor says my cholesterol and blood pressure have never been better." I just got back from the store with fresh veggies and fish. Now I am heading to the garage to do crunches on the expensive dusty machine my husband bought years ago that never gets used. I am meeting this friend for lunch in four weeks. Where all other motivators have failed, this is the one that has done it. I will NOT appear weighing more than she does. If I have to perform liposuction on myself with a steak knife and a straw, so be it.
