Doesn’t that sound like something someone would try to market to young girls today? Couldn’t you just see that on Saturday morning TV while the little ones are watching their beloved cartoons? How pathetic that would be!
Anyway, I think I went on my first diet in the fourth grade. Since the first grade, I had always been close to ten pounds overweight, which I suppose is significant for a young child.
The diet was one of those four days on, three days off things where you eat specific foods for four days — peanut butter, boiled eggs, baked chicken among select others — and then you could eat anything you wanted for three days. I don’t remember why the diet failed. My mother was following the plan as well, perhaps she decided it was time to stop.
