roll call..........

Hi Everyone, Isn't it amazing how we can convince ourselves that "this" is our miracle. If I can eat only grapefruit or salad or cabbage for the rest of my life I'll be skinny and perfect. Yeah right!!!!!!!!!!!!! But my worst was the Chocalate & Cabbage or C&C diet. That's all chocolate and cabbage UGH UGH awful combo. But I lasted two days because it was going to work.

ok rita c n c i never heard of that one ..not a good combo ..funny thiung is i love cabbage and will eat it but only a small portion because of gas from it maybe they can recycle the gas from all of us from cabbage and we wont have a energy problem lol

Howdy there, Worst diet was a group hypnotism by a quack who wanted us to buy/sell his colloidal minerals. They told us to visualize our favorite foods (in my case Sparkle Cherry Tangy Taffy and Big Macs) and then visualize our worst memories (in my case being molested as a young child) and connect the eating of the food with that memory, and choosing not to eat those foods with a fantasy that changes your worst memory into a lie (in my case running through the cornfield to escape my assaulter). . .They also gave us a rubber band to wear on our wrists to snap ourselves when we're looking to cheat. Talk about psychologically damaging. . .I'll say this though. . .I have never once been able to eat those foods without reflecting and ultimately choosing not to eat them. (not that I could touch either of them now - dump city). Ick, ~Lara My mom was on Optifast for a year and a half (9 months under supervision. . .9 months on ill-gotten boxes of optifast from friends in the group who dropped out early. . .) Her metabolism was TOTALLY shot afterwards, and when she started eating food again the gas was unbelievable. She would get so hungry when she was on that fast. . .every now and then she'd look at me like she was a prisoner. . .it was very hard to watch.

yea i rember the 80s with all those hypnotists every 2 months id go looking fort he miracle to lose weight or quit smokin funny those snake oil sellers arent as popular as they used to be ..son of a *****es taking advantage of people and thier money and thier hopes ugh

I forgot about a couple. I had acupuncture. Also, we had a nearby doc that you could go to and get injections for twenty bucks!!!!!! We would load a whole car load up and go and after we got our shots, we pissed all the way home!!!!! Must have been lasix or something.
