The I'm An Idiot Diet

Some people try this to lose weight. Others prefer the lure of Cabbage Soup, while still others are followers of the Goddess that is Grapefruit. Then, of course, you've got the chicks like LiLo or Jess who like the good, old-fashioned celeb standby. Oh oops. I meant to link here.

I, however, am really into the "I'm an Idiot Diet," also known as the "I Need a New Job with a Higher Paycheck Diet." Conveniently, I don't make the decision of when I'll start the program - the kind people at Citibank alert me via ATM's, bank statements, missing debit card,etc...of when I need to tone up. Last night was primarily my fault, though - I lost my debit card. It's somewhere on this crazy island, probably the LES, but it's really,truly gone. I won't have another one for at least a week, and in the meantime I'll be living like a squirrel, foraging my cabinets for the stockpiles of popcorn, canned veggies, and frozen meals we've got hidden away. I think there might even be packets of peanut butter crackers that my mother (yes, my mother -bless her heart- she insisted on coming up from down South to help me move) bought when I moved in over a year ago. Eww.

So this winning combination of my being grossed out at having to eat this food (there's a reason its been languishing in the cabinets) and the obvious high amount of calories exerted by combing through the kitchen (way more than the treadmill) always leads me to lose at least 3 pounds in one week. Do you have results like that, "One Good Meal Diet." ?
