Don't Regurgitate - Compensate!

Sometime last week, after I ate a small tower of oreos and drank a long cool glass of la leche, I hit myself on the forehead in disgust.

After I peeled the crushed oreo imbedded in sweet lardy goodness off my forehead that I had inadvertently stuck there with my self punishing hand smack, I said to myself while I ate it...

Me:  This just won't do.  Sweet oreo lard is extremely bad for your complexion, and besides, you are a good person who should be able to eat oreos without self flagellation.

Me:  I should?


Me:  Darn tootin'.

Me:  Well, what can we do about all the fat and calories?

 
Me:  For one thing, we're going to quit talking to ourselves and work this out in the laboratory.

Me:  Can I bring the oreos?


Me:  Sure:




And so, dear readers, after a day and a night and a day of testing, a 200 pack of latex gloves, a close call with an explosion  of purple smoke and complaints from the neighbors, I present to you:


Diet Equalizers

This is the deal.  

When you eat something naughty that you will be wearing on your thighs within 24 hours, consult the following equalizer list and counteract your indulgence with sensible compensating behavior.

                                                                of well chewed celery

                                                                 chili peppers to speed

                                                                   transfer substance



My laboratory is open for further experimentation.  What do you need an antidote for?

Um. How about half a box of diet ice cream sandwiches...

(Sort of defeats the purpose, doesn't it?)

12 Mini chocolate covered doughnuts with a large diet coke.

Niki: l package Little Debbies Snacks = watching 4 hours of a golf tournament on ESPN. (Extreme Boredom does burn calories!)

Sue: 1/2 box diet Ice cream sandwiches = 1/2 way around the block chewing gum vigourously.

Holly: 12 mini chocolate covered doughnuts are automatically cancelled out by the large diet coke. If a medium diet coke is consumed then add 15 minutes of contemplation about the politician you love to loathe. (Remember to hydrate after the steam comes out of your ears)
