Why is it

That when the family cook goes on a diet, the whole family goes on a diet. CD has been told to change his eating habits and lose weight or the alternative is to take another pill to reduce his cholesterol. Well, Doc, you are talking to the guy who is like a child told to eat his spinach. He hides his multi-vitamins that I try to give him each day so that he doesn't have to take them. Every day I have to ask "Did you take your vitamin?" - just like a kid that you have to ask if they finished their homework. And the answers are the same.....moan, groan.

This diet is the Sacred Heart diet, which by the way, really sucks. Nothing but fruit and a veggie soup on the first day. All veggies and veggie soup on the second day. Veggie, fruit and more veggie soup on the third day. Today is only bananas and skim milk.....oh, and yes, more of that freakin' veggie soup. IT does work and does help to get rid of chocolate cravings because you start to crave actual food - and I have lost 7 pounds and we are only starting on day four.

I asked CD on the second day of this fast if he had even hinted to the doctor that he downs ice cream every night. I mean he eats it like they were going to stop making it any day now. An ice cream shortage coming? A law against ice cream because it possibly may make your cholesterol higher? BUT, no, he didn't mention that. Instead we are on this fast way to lose weight so he can stock up on ice cream again. My advice to CD, take the stupid pill!
