grapefruit & eggsi was a plump thirteen that summerin reader's digest my mother found a diet consisting of grapefruit & eggs for two weeks straight i never liked grapefruit but i braced myself & clenched my teeth to make a better man out of me the 1st morning, i ate a grapefruit: i cringed with every spoonful so i smothered it in saccharin (which was awful in its own special way) & kept on eating after 4 days of grapefruit & eggs i'd suffered enough i searched the cupboards while my parents were out & one at a time (so it wouldn't be noticed) i'd steal a triscuit from the box i knew i'd get caught sooner or later but after 2 weeks i weighed in with a healthy loss & they let me go back to my lucky charms (C) 10/12/97 Tom Brinck ACCESSIBILITY FEATURES / SITEMAP / CONTACT |
