Instant Weight Loss: Two Takes35 total reviews
Comment from Mary Vigasin
Your humor shines again! Not only in the story of your weight gain and loss but on "Dick's" way of working a "crash" diet by attacking the scale for not giving him a better answer.
Well done and thank you for the laugh.
Regards,
Mary

Comment from BethShelby
This is too funny. I seriously doubt that bathroom scales would adjust down over a pound or two because I've tried it. Nevertheless I don't doubt that he may have thrown the bathroom scales down the stairs. My husband once threw a tube of Icy Hot across the vacant lot next to us because he had accidently tried brushing his teeth with it.

This story is true!
Write a flash about that hilarious incident--I did something even more painful involving mistaking ben gay for something to which I'll leave to your imagination.

good morning, Liz... Such humor! If I thought I could lose these dreaded pounds the same way...believe me I would be searching for my dad's sledgehammer this second. I enjoyed the story and of course the laugh. Smiles, Carol

People at a healthy weight are generally happier than those who are overweight. Unfortunately, when we feel sad, we attack the fridge! Losing weight is not as easy as losing keys, cellphone and sometimes the mind itself!:) I enjoyed your amusing take on losing/ gaining/ losing... weight. Take care.!

I must admit, that is one of the most irrational acts I've ever heard of. Talk about blaming everyone else or something else but himself, well done Liz, Blessings Roy

Oh dear! Well the crash diet certainly was effective!! Excellent story, very relatable to all. Mentally I am trying to convert everything to kilograms - but the story telling remains vivid and compelling. Well done.

What a freaking waste of your talent, Liz. This should be syndicated in every major newspaper in the U.S. At least the editor of your freaking local rag should see its value. Damn, this is good.
by a twelve-pack of Little Debbie's oatmeal creme sandwiches. [I have a box of those sitting on my counter now along with Little Debbie fig bars. One oatmeal creme and one fig bar (to keep the plumbing working) and that's my reward for the day.]

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
No offense, Liz, but this is funny--no not the extra weight that taxes bodies, just the way it was written. As they say 'truth is stranger than fiction.' You did a great job detailing the ups and downs of your scale and the reasons for each. Throwing the scale down the stairs was funny, even if it didn't solve anything. Stress eating is hard to deal with in order to stop. Turning the knob on the scale down was funny although cheating.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

Comment from lyenochka
This was hilarious! And me, I was griping about the three pounds more at the doctor's scale than my own digital scale at home. Ah, poor "Dick" - I have never heard that side effect of a vasectomy!
