Dhramn Diet Pill Did Not Work

Dhramn Diet Pill I took a pink diet pill. The blue ones had stopped working. And I stopped drinking all that stupid water. I do not have time to go to the bathroom hourly. Thought about it and realized I probably needed two diet pills. Shook out another pink, and downed it happily. Turned to see crackers and peanut butter. A little taste would not hurt. Made them into sandwiches. My husband had brought home my favorite coconut cake. I stomped out of the kitchen, irritated. Slunk back five minutes later and cut the cake into sixty-four pieces. They were so small, I ate thirty-two of them. Dhramn diet pill did not work.

This is a hoot, Caren, although I hope you did not get a tummy ache after eating thirty two pieces of cake!

It was a very SMALL cake - one of those teeny tiny frozen Sara Lee coconut cakes. They are petite, Michelle. So very small. You know the ones.

Hi Caren, I can't stop laughing because of the obvious temptation here. Discipline is not easy especially when dieting. With thirty-two pieces of favourite coconut cake eaten at once the Dhramn Diet pills were definitely not going to work. It happens to all of us.

Eunice, I was just explaining this to Michelle. It is one of those teeny tiny itsy bitsy box cakes.
