Your Smile for Today:

Before we reach for that deep-fried Mars Bar, we might consider these personality traits:

1. I don't exercise because everyone else at the gym looks like a supermodel or Schwarzenegger compared to me.
2. I eat salads when I'm out with friends, then raid the pantry when I'm home.
3. I enjoy being physically active as much as I do making paper-clip chains.
4. My plate's so high, it breaks at least three city codes.
5. Ahhh! I find food as comforting as a down pillow.
6. I like exercise, but if I have to miss it, I'm like a crashed NASCAR !
it's hard for me to get back on track.
7. My life is moving fast, my to-do list is the length of a novel, and I can't find the brakes.
8. I need a dietary restraining order. If there's any food within fifty feet of me, I'll eat it.


These are only a few of the excuses listed by Mehmet C. Oz, MD. and Michael F. Roizen, M.D.
