Stupid Diet Pills Do Not Work
Today I had a sliver of a piece of pie for breakfast.
Before I had my thyroid pill,
before I remembered I cannot eat before I have my thyroid pill.
But it was the teeniest tiniest littlest piece.
Probably ten million calories though.
I should give myself a smack down and a beat down, but I don’t.
How about I have a little bitty piece of cherry pie? I coax myself.
My husband offers me cereal, but how sweet is that?
I put my nose up at it.
Two slivers of pie and a tiny piece of cake later, I feel badly.
So I take a diet pill.
It does not kick in.
So I take another one.
Wait fifteen minutes. Nothing.
So I eat the rest of the pie. No one else was going to, right?
If I could stop going to the store, it might help me with this diet
that is not working.
I blame these ridiculous inane non-working diet pills!
