The Picture Diet
One time when I was home visiting my folks, my mom asked me to set the table
for dinner. I opened the refrigerator and taped to the inside of the door
was a risqué picture of a lovely, slender, perfectly built, but
scantily-clad young woman.
"Mom, what's this?" I asked.
"Oh, I put that up there to remind me not to over-eat," she answered.
"Is it working?" I asked.
"Yes and no," she explained. "I've lost 15 pounds, but your dad has gained
20!"
