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

Thank you thompsonk

Hilarious...

My Mum had that get-up... when it didn't work she ended up using it as a costume for her work Halloween party... added a funnel/hat and went as The Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz.

and sad...

AYDS were the first diet I recall going on... I bought them at the drugstore with my own money unbeknownst to my parents after a family member said I weighed too much... a lesson my friends... fat shaming does not work and starts a vicious cycle :( careful with your words to your kiddos and teens.

Hi Eggface

Now that would have been a better purpose for it LOL  I bet she looked adorable.  

You are so right, I was skinny as a stic****il I was 6 and we moved from WV to MI....  What was cute before in WV, red curly hair, freckles and the accent lead to me being bullied really bad.  I stopped going out and food was my friend.....and we know the rest.

OMG, I did Ayds too.  LOL, I ate them like candy too.  They kind of remind of the Bariatric Advantage chocolate chews.  

soho we are diet sisters  

Somewhere around 99 I did the cabbage diet too. I did the HCG diet, the one that replicates the hormone pregnant women have. I did the "tinfoil" suit but with black hefty trash bags. I recall metabolife. I ate nothing but green salad for 3 months. I felt horrible the entire time on that one. I lost on Ephedrine but I felt like a chihuahua in Fairbanks Alaska. I rationalized that pizza had all 4 food groups so I did a pizza diet. I did a lot more than this but these are the highlights. 

Hi HFFM

Sadly I remember each and every one of those....  Remember when we were so excited and hopeful in the beginning and then end up being let down and disappointed at the end?

I just remembered one I did more than once.....  Remember the Mayo clinic diet in the 70's?

• Breakfast consisted of a half-grapefruit or 8 ounces (0.24 liters) of grapefruit juice, two eggs, two slices of bacon, and black coffee.
• Lunch was a grapefruit half or 8 ounces (0.24 liters) of grapefruit juice, salad and salad dressing, and as much meat as the person wanted to eat.
• Dinner consisted of a half-grapefruit or 8 ounces (0.24 liters) of grapefruit juice, salad or green and red vegetables, and unlimited meat.
• The evening snack consisted of 8 ounces (0.24 liters) of skim milk or 8 ounces of (0.24 liters) tomato juice.

I did Atkins back in the late 90's.  At the time I was not really that big, I think about 200lbs or so, but it was the start of my upward trend.  I worked as a waitress at the time, and served food all day.  I ate a lot of meat, bacon and some cheese.  After about 3 weeks I had lost 15 pounds, but then one day I kinda snapped and shoved a whole piece of cheesecake in my mouth.  Mmmmm, cheesecake.  

Deanna you are a better person than I....  You only shoved a whole pice of cheesecake.  I would have the entire thing!  

Yes, I remember Atkins too....geez I am aging myself on this thread.....
