Dishonest dentist?
I've just gotten back from this new dentist where I was supposed to be getting a filling and apparently now I need a root canal. I'm also supposed to be getting two more next week. I have never had a problem with my teeth before. I've only ever had one or two cavities before in my life and almost every time I go in for a clean they tell me that my teeth are in great shape.
A beverage as an alternative
Other than water, can you think of another beverage you can drink throughout the day and not worry about how many cups you had? It is not coffee or tea (caffeine etc) it is not fruit juice (sugar)... cucumber juice can be a candidate..... anything you can think of?
People who sabotage your diet/health plans
I just got out of a meeting (at work) where donuts were served. I attend alot of meetings and there is almost always treats (of the unhealthy variety served). The donut plate was passed around and I passed it on since donuts are NOT in my diet plan (can't think of a single diet plan where it would be actually) BUT I was mercilessly teased and even derated for not participating in the donut festivities.
