I can't believe I drank the entire thing!

Like many of you, I often fall victium to an impulse buy while waiting in line at the check out counter. For me, it is always a magazine - shocker, I know. With my love of crafts, herbs, and relationship trivia, there is no end to the temptation that magazines pose.

Two of my favorite are Women's World and First. Both magazines have diet information, recipes, crafts, relationship information and run under $2 each. What can I say, I'm a cheap date.

The last time I picked up a magazine was when Bonnet was visiting and I purchased a copy of Women's World for the decorative cupcake ideas for Valentines. Bonnet was reading it later that evening and pointed out an article that declared you could lose inches from your waist without exercise or chaning your diet. All you had to do was injest Safflower Oil on a dialy baises. Their test group of women lost an average of 2-4 inches in a WEEK.

Safflower Oil is avaiable at the grocery store for less than $4 a bottle and you only have to take 2 teaspoons a day, so I thought what the hell. I tried it.

I jotted down my measurements before starting to take it. I took it three days before my trip to the coast. Didn't take it for the next four days, so when I got back I started it again. Only this time I forgot it was teaspoons and ended up taking 2 tablespoons each night for nearly two weeks.

I didn't loose any inches around my waist, or anywhere else I can find.

Suprisingly, I didn't gain any either.

It might have been that my test period was during the most heavily eatting time of the year. Or, maybe those two weeks of triple the amount I was suppose to take was at fault.

Or, and here is a wild idea, I shouldn't take health advice from an article in a $1.99 magazine.
