This is really none of your business, but…………….I haven’t seen my ‘business’ in a few years, unless I see it in the mirror in passing (not on purpose mind you). Shaving the bikini area has become a hit-and-miss adventure. I don’t know why “IT” is even referred to as the BIKINI area --- seriously! I wore an actual bikini twice in my life – once to lay out in the sun when I was a senior in high school and another time when I owned an in ground pool and felt some obligation to do so.
This brings me to my topic at hand. Controlled substances. According to Webster, a controlled substance is a drug or chemical substance whose possession and use are controlled by law. Ok, I get that alright. I don’t have any interest in those types of substances. My issue is control. My substance is food. This is precisely why Lean Cuisine was invented. Wah La - controlled substance for food junkies. I know that I know processed, packaged foods are not good for us, but my thinking caved last week when I passed by the mirror.
Going against my better judgment I was off to the grocery store. I was so intent on my mission I should have wore a black suit and a mask. It was as if I had blinders on as not be distracted by the meat and snack counters. My cart filled up with everything Lean Cuisine had to offer. As I rolled the future lifestyle change to the checkout clerk, I had a sense of calm come over me. No more would I wonder what to have for lunch or dinner. This was it. I would pick one. Nuke as directed and consume. Calorie controlled. Portion controlled. All in one fell swoop. I like it. Peace of mind. No longer do I have to dwell on meal preparation or ponder over recipes.
Not counting the crazy delicious char grilled ballpark and luscious birthday cake I enjoyed at a party yesterday – so far, so good. I declare a week of success, marking two pounds closer to a business meeting.
