Okay another week of Bit's and Pieces, I can't believe all the holiday crap they're cramming down my throat. I'm not ready darn it!!


From Canadian Living Magazine (Not just for Canadians, you know! LOL)



Spas and Weight Loss: Diet without Deprivation
All grapefruit diet. Low carb diet. No carb diet. High protein diet. Brown rice diet. Low fat diet.
