You know what works better than
weight loss diet pills? Teeth whitening. Yep. I had my teeth whitened two weeks ago and I was told to avoid all colored food for an entire month. I gaped at Dr. Dorotheo, "But all food has color!" He just smiled sweetly in reply.
Now I'm a tomato lover--I have to eat something with tomato sauce/ketchup once a day (read about my love for tomatoes
here and
here). If I can't have tomato once a day, I lose my appetite for everything else. So you can guess what happened--I've just resorted to eating once a day, so unhappy was I. I've been nibbling on carbonara, ham sandwiches (palest ham possible on white bread and mayo), congee and the like, and a lot of baked/steamed fish.

Now my jeans are loose and my tummy is flatter. My lovely friend Zerline, who is about to get married and is also opening a quirky store this month at Power Plant Mall, marveled at my thinness. "Maybe I should have my teeth whitened before the wedding!" she exclaimed at the thought of hitting two birds with one stone: white teeth, slimmer body! The perfect solution for any bride-to-be! (See our photo above? That's water we're drinking. Colorless food only!)
Well, my teeth are still sparkly white. But then this happened:

Vince cooked his famous spaghetti meat sauce. Lovely meaty beef, extra virgin olive oil, plenty of garlic and onions, freshly grated parmesan cheese all bubbling away in a rich tomato sauce. Obviously, I did not resist!!! I'll just have to brush my teeth madly then! And even if my teeth yellowed again, I don't care--Vince's special spaghetti sauce is oh so worth it!

Want to have your teeth whitened for free? The
Drama Queen is holding a contest at her blog to celebrate her blog's first anniversary (congratulations!). Contest ends today!!!
Hahaha! I love this. It reminded me of that time when I was trying South Beach and then my little brother turned 1 and had an ice cream and cake party. Within minutes I'd ditched the diet :D
ReplyDeleteawww I guess my instincts are right, the men in our lives..if they can cook, they can really cook! I can't resist a lot of my hubby's cooking too! Once is ok..lol just tell him no to cook again! :) Wow on flatter tummy!!!
ReplyDeleteHmmm...that sauce that your hubby cooked sounds so delicious. No wonder you couldn't resist :)
ReplyDeleteps - very interesting option to slim down. hehehe.
Hahaha, I won't last a day!!
ReplyDeleteha, now I reallllly want my teeth whitened
ReplyDeleteYay for accidental diets. Haha.
ReplyDeleteWhew, colorless food? That's tough! Can't live without coffee, and catsup too! But with that kind of spaghetti sauce, I can deal with madly brushing my teeth after =)
ReplyDeleteAskmewhats, I hate to disappoint you, though--that spaghetti sauce is the only thing the guy can cook. What a waste of talent!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'm definitely trying this! Pero paano kung kanin lang ang kainin ko?
