Courtesy Provida.  <\/p>\n<p>For the curious reader, there are five simple rules.  No fat.  No salt.  No sugar.  No wheat.  No dairy.  It doesn&#8217;t say anything about wine but I&#8217;m assuming that&#8217;s off the menu too.   You also have to eat every 2 to 3 hours.  <\/p>\n<p>Now, I&#8217;m not some rookie dieter.  I&#8217;ve been at it for years.  Nothing knocks off 30 pounds in 6 weeks except maybe a scalpel and a few suction tubes.   But, in the lead up to the pigfest that is the holiday season, a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do.  Also I&#8217;m tired of always wanting to fit into <em>those jeans<\/em>.  Skinny jeans No.1 have now dry rotted.  I&#8217;ve given up ever being 105 pounds again.  No.2, a good size and a half larger, are now the gold standard.  I&#8217;ll get there if it kills me.  <\/p>\n<p>My mother thinks I&#8217;m crazy.  She would.  The woman weighed 126 pounds when she was nine months pregnant &#8211; with twins.  But I know better.  I know it&#8217;s never good to feel awful.  It&#8217;s always better to feel fit and fabulous.  Nothing tastes as good as thin feels.  It&#8217;s the truth.   If you don&#8217;t believe it you&#8217;re either fat or ugly.  That&#8217;s the truth too.  Thin is a fabulous floating on air feeling.  Fat is a stuck-in-a-rut-and-i-cant-get-out- so-i-might-as-well-puddle feeling.  <\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t like stuck.  And I won&#8217;t settle for it.  See ya Reggie. <\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reggie&#8217;s on day 86 of nothing special.
