I've lost 17 pounds

I have finally found a diet that is very effective and very easy to stay on. It’s called the Purina Diet. I know most of you will think it’s gross but I have lost 17 pounds. It’s very nutritionally balanced and also very effective. Yes it requires you to eat dog food but it is healthy and it works. I was in Wal-Mart 3 months ago and this guy in font of me was telling a lady about it. It went like this. He was buying two very large bags of Purina dog food "Fit and Trim" at Wal-Mart. As he was about to check out, the lady behind him and just in front of me asked if he had dogs. The guy told her he did not have a dog, and that he was starting the Purina Diet again, although he probably shouldn't because he ended up in the hospital last time. On the bright side, though, he had lost 50 pounds before awakening in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of every hole in my body and IVs in both arms. He told her that it was essentially a perfect diet, and that the way it works is to load your pockets with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry, and that the food is very safe and nutritionally complete so he was going to try it again. (I have to mention here that practically everyone in the line was enthralled with his story, including me). Horrified, she asked if the guy ended up in intensive care because the dog food had poisoned me. He told her no - He had lain down in the middle of the parking lot to lick himself and a car hit him. I know it may be a little dangerous, but I am giving it a try.

LOL! I was just in Walmart a few days ago buying dog food and a lady asked if we had dogs. I SO wish I would have thought of something like this. Too funny!

Oh my heavens, Cuz. You are too funny! Although I've heard that the "bird feed diet" produces quicker results, that is, if you're willing to deal with the side effects. The nervous tick was okay, but the sudden urge to jump off of the roof to see if I could fly is where I had to draw the line. But don't let that hold you back.
