have i told you my great, foolproof diet idea? i definitely SHOULD NOT share it with you, because you will definitely steal it and then you’ll write a book about it and get rich instead of me.

but here it is: B.’s (Billy Bob’s) dog, Mollie, was quie overweight. she weighed about 53 pounds, i think, and B. put her on a diet and now she only weighs 38 pounds, which is perfect.

How did she do it, you ask? B. cut back on the amount of food he gave her, of course. and so, logically, she lost weight.

now, the only real problem with losing weight is that even though we KNOW that we just have to eat less, we are always lured by the doughnuts, sucked into chocolate chip cookies, we just eat too much because dieting makes us crazy.

but so here’s the mollie diet – you get somebody else to dole out the food to you. and they just give you less food than you’re eating right now, and you will certainly lose weight!

the problem is that we can drive, so we can always get in the car and go to baskin robbins and get a chocolate peanut butter double scoop sugar cone.

maybe we also need to be restricted to the house. that would, then, also be a kind of min-vacation from everyday real life reality.

ok, i’ve just scratched the surface of the Mollie Diet, but i know a fortune is THERE TO BE HAD.

don’t steal my idea.

ok then,

grace, ever entreprenurial.
