My sore throat made me do it

Ended up getting a vanilla shake today. Actually, I got it this morning for breakfast (don't judge - my throat was so swollen my tonsils were practically touching). I have to say, dieting is a lot easier when you're not sick. When you don't feel good you want comfort stuff. 7-up, Ice Cream, Potato Soup. Your bed. And when you don't feel good, exercise, fat, and calories are the furthest thing from your mind. So I got my vanilla shake. I could have gone large but I didnt - got a medium instead. That made me feel less guilty later on. It's not all that bad though. The shake actually took up half the points I'm allowed for the day, but that's why we get bonus points! I probably would have ate more during the day but another thing about being sick - you're less hungry. Maybe I should stop washing my hands and start licking the shopping cart handles so I can stay sick all the time.

I'm kidding.

People do stupider things than that though to lose weight. I mean, how much safer is it to take a diet pill that you bought straight off the supermarket shelf? Not that I haven't tried it before. I've wasted way too much money on that crap actually. The only thing that half-way worked was Dexitrim, and that's because it made me sick to my stomach. AWESOME. You know why diet pill companies make so much money? Because of suckers like us.

I stayed at work all day, even though I really really wanted to go home. Now that I'm home, I'm going to lay on the couch, read a book, and not do anything. My exercise will be walking back and forth from the bathroom. I will drink all the juice and milk I want. And. I. Don't. Care.
