She was Right

I have a friend who weighs maybe 110 pounds soaking wet. One day a couple of weeks ago, another friend and I were chatting with her about weight loss. Now, my other friend and I have been doing the weight watchers dance for years and we were lamenting our low metabolism and our general lack of control. My tall, thin friend says to us "if you stop eating carbs after 6pm the pounds will melt off." To which I thought, phphphphphph.

This past weekend I had a ton of family in for a baptism. I ate and ate and ate (my skinny friend made the most delicious cake I have had in a while) and ate and ate and ate - resulting in gaining 5 pounds. So yesterday I didn't eat after 6pm, mostly because I wasn't feeling well, but also because I was so disgusted with myself (I've been working hard to lose weight and had been down 13 pounds). Woke up this morning and dropped 4 of the 5 pounds.

Seriously? Seriously? Just not eating after 6pm and the weight came off? Seriously? Maybe the reason she weighs 110 pounds soaking wet is because she knows these things.
