Crafty

I so, so, would like to get back to the art of crocheting. I don’t know how hook up sweaters or items that require complex stitching patterns, but when it comes down to making anything square (pot-holders, scarves, and blankets, kitchen rugs, etc.) I’m your girl. *lol* Problem is, I start a project and rarely finish it. Probably because I have the attention span of a 3 year old. But if I can just step up my dedication a little bit, ya’ll know I’d be rockin’ some bomb designs. It’s really not that hard. I just need to stop B.S.’n… A sister aint got arthritis. I do have some time. I also have a creative flair, so what am I waiting for?

Q. Where’d I learn to twist up some yarn?
A. The Juvenile Detention Center circa 1986.

But that’s story for another time.

So with all of the hub-bub about us women (because men need not worry about being lard asses, right?) committing to a “fitness revolution“, I decided to take a peek at the theory behind the only FDA approved, over-the-counter fat-blocker, alli.

Alli

How It Works:

“The active ingredient in alli attaches to some of the natural enzymes in the digestive system, preventing them from breaking down about a quarter of the fat you eat. Undigested fat cannot be absorbed and passes through the body naturally. The excess fat is not harmful. In fact, you may recognize it in the toilet as something that looks like the oil on top of a pizza. ”

Because of the way in which alli works, eating meals with too much fat may cause side effects known as treatment effects. Learn more about treatment effects now. . .

* gas with oily spotting
* loose stools
* more frequent stools that may be hard to control

In other words, taking this so called weight reduction help-aid may result in you having “accidents” in your Victorias Secret… at work, church, the grocery store…on the way to your friends birthday party, etc.

I don’t give a damn how thin you become via poppin’ alli tablets and reducing your fat intake…

Oily bowel seepage/fecal incontinence is NEVER a good look.

Period. Point Blank. End of Story.

There is nothing left to say…except one thing:
