It's Friday, Let's Have Some Fun!

Who doesn't love Fridays!  WOOHOO    Let's have some fun to end the week!  I will never forget when I had to list all the diets I had tried when I first started my weight loss surgery journey.  I think I had 3 pages full.  

What was the most insane, weird, nuts, bizarre, strange, funny, goofy, far out, wacky, crazy, kooky, thing you tried and or ate to lose weight?

Here are my top 3 and trust me I could fill the entire website with what I tried.  I would be a millionaire if I had all the money back I spent on all these cough, cough ways to lose weight.

I want you to know even though it was not the best looking outfit it worked!  Until I drank a glass of water. LOL

This has to be the most vile, nasty, disgusting tasting thing ever!  I would gag and choke and hold my nose to get it down.  Sad what I did to lose weight.  It worked until I stated eating again.

Candy?  Did someone say candy?  I use to eat it like candy and never at just 1

Oh, Kathy, I want some of the AYDS.  WTF is in that stuff that it's diet candy?  I bet it's like exlax, lol.

And AYDS?  OMG, I'm dying here.  

What was so funny Deanna, was you were suppose to have 2 with a hot drink.. I think they were suppose to make you full so you would not eat as much but I found I was so hungry I kept eating them like they were a box of Valentine's Chocolates.  

That was in the dim mists of time, before AYDS meant something else entirely, and got spelled a little differently.

As for the laxative powers of these little beauties, they were so chock-full of Sorbitol that if you ate more than a couple (and who didn't?  I could do a box at one sitting, for the love of God) you spent hours upon hours of upon hours on the porcelain throne, just waiting for your intestines to fall out.

As for myself, I did some weird diet where all you ate was grapefruit and bacon, don't ask me why.

Hi Cheryl,

I am hearing the song "Memories" right now...  grapefruit and bacon?  Yep I can see it!  

Taking a shot of apple cider vinegar every morning and trying to convince myself it wasn't that bad 

OH Rachelp, I think I remember that!  I bet it was not as bad as that liquid protein.  Gag city!!!!!  

I tried Ayds as well, my mother had them so I did it too.  The strangest I ever did was The Cabbage Soup Diet and The Cantaloupe and Ice Cream diet.  My father gave me a years worth of Nutri System for my high school graduation.  It's not strange, but it does show a little about our relationship.

OMG thompsonk11, don't laugh but I just got over a bought of pneumonia and made a big pot of the cabbage soup.  I thought I had tried and heard of them all but I have not heard of the Cantaloupe and Ice Cream diet.  I love both, can't believe that got by me   Thanks for sharing....

I am sorry you have been sick, but glad you are on the mend!  Cabbage soup can be wonderful when the word "diet" doesn't follow.  I even remember the year I did the Cantaloupe Diet, 1999.  Must have been a fad around that time, not sure of how I even heard of it!  Take care of yourself this weekend.
