Lite'n Up - Laugh Yourself Skinny

Laugh Yourself Skinny You're just about to ruin your diet by eating a slice of cake (which will only lead to eating another slice of cake) when you call up your reminder: When told that people were hungry with no bread to eat, Marie Antoinette famously said, "Let them eat cake!" Historians now agree that Ms. Antoinette was a horribly vain woman who wanted everyone else to be heavier than she was. A kinder, gentler Marie Antoinette would have said, "Let them eat high fiber crackers!" It makes you smile. Suddenly, cake seems ridiculous...and high fiber crackers sound delish (okay, maybe that's stretching it). Read a silly reminder every morning and record your dieting hits and bombs along the way. Laugh. Hearken back to it throughout the day. Laugh some more. Don't eat cake. By the time you finish Laugh Yourself Skinny, you'll be slim- it's so easy, it's not even funny...well, actually, it is pretty funny.
