i think i'm onto something...
Ok...I seriously don't mean to be obsessive, but I was getting my har did and I was looking through one of those magazines where page after page has nothing buy skinny bitches wearing ensambles made of hardly any material, and a 4 figure price tag. I came upon an article that said some women may be walking around with 10 extra pounds of water weight. I have diagnosed myself with this disorder. It said your rings will become tight, or not fit, you're constantly thirsty and frequently urinanting small amounts, your socks leave indentations around your cankles (ok, so I added that word in), and some other symptoms I will refrain from discussing. Now, I am supposed to take the advice from some all knowing (probably) skinny bitch. She offers me nothing I don't already know. Drink more water, avoid salt...yadda yadda yadda. I did learn something though that does not apply to me. There is a chemical called sugar alcohol. It exists in those fake, poser, wanna-be sugar substites that only crazy people on The South Beach Diet consume. This chemical does not promote water retention though. Instead, you retain excess air. Yes, my friends...GAS. Gotta love a diet that encourages you to consume belly aching, flatulence promoting chemicals, but it is also lacking in nutrition, which leads to fatigue, dizziness, and utter pissiness. If you are on this diet and you reach this point (most likely around day 3 or so) get your ass to the kitchen, eat a peanutbutter and jelly samich, and burn your book. You will feel better. I did.
So, back to my magazine of the skinny bitches. There was like a 10 page spread

I'm spent.

I think I have a South Beach Diet book somewhere....but I would have to modify it in lots of ways before I have used it-I have Hashimoto's disease (or in layman's terms a disease that causes hypothyroidism which is that condition that people like to say/think they have to blaim their weight gain on). I have a list of anti-thyroid foods that I am supposed to avoid & I would assume that sugar substitutes would be along those lines for one reason or another. I am glad that you covered this.
Silvrtop-
If you have the time/interest maybe you should start a blog. You seem to have an interesting personality & I think that a blog authored by you would be a fun read.
