Dieting

i cannot begin to say how grateful i am, that you took me away to bring me back again, what meant so much more that i could see, was so conformed from reality, it was a daze in a picture perfect world, it was crumpets and donuts and it made me want to hurl, it was way too gooey perfect, with a sugar coated glaze, i sat and watched the food being prepared and set out like a buffet, in my heart i knew, if i ate it i would be poisoned, the slow kill of artificial sweetener that tastes similar to the real thing, at first bite, you can't really tell until it leaves an aftertaste, and then you realize hey, wait a minute! this is not the real thing, the trick that fills your stomach and your way too full to speak, it slows down every function in your body, and puts your butt to sleep, and once you realize what it is your consuming, and decide to go on a real diet, the fat burning slows down, you look like your slacking, as if your not even trying, i love this diet, and i must say, i can still enjoy the sweets, but this time its not the same, and i know it is the real thing,
