The Eraser Diet
"When I stepped on the scale at
my doctor’s office, I was surprised
to see that I weighed 144 pounds.
'Why don’t you just take off
that last four?' I joked to the nurse’s
aide as she made a notation on
my chart.
A few moments later, my doctor came in and flipped through the chart.
'I see you’ve lost weight,' he said. 'You’re down to 14 pounds.'"
