50 lb weight loss

Brooke R. forwarded me this story via email...I laughed so hard I almost wet my pants!! Thanks for the laugh Brooke.

Yesterday I was buying large bags of Purina Dog Chow at Wal-Mart, for my dogsWinston, Chief, Gus, and Maximus. I was about to check out when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog. What, did she think that I had an elephant?

Since I had little else to do, on impulse, I told her that no, I didn'thave a dog, and that I was starting the Purina Diet again. Although I probably shouldn't because I ended up in the hospital last time. On the bright side though, I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of every hole in my body and IVs in both arms.

I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that itworks is to load your pockets with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry, and that the food is nutritionally complete, so I was going to try it again. (I have to mention here that practically everyone in the line was enthralled with my story by now.)

Horrified, she asked if I ended up in the intensive care unit because the dog food had poisoned me... I told her "no". I had stopped in the middle of the parking lot to lick my butt and a car hit me!

I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack, he was laughingso hard!

Wal-Mart won't let me shop there anymore.

Loved that story. Your little girls hair is so cute!! By the way did you call me? The other day I was going through my caller id and saw a Michael Petersen and could only think of you. If it is you e-mail a good time to call you back. I think it's a five hour time difference at the moment. Take care!!
