Day 1 "The Road to Recovery is paved with Phentermine!

I’m jazzed, I’m pumped! Day 1 and Wohoo! Ok, maybe it’s the phentermine? I feel awake for the first time in months! Today had salacious beginnings. I use the word salacious in particular as it is timely for today’s recount. I recently found out that salacious was derived from the word salt. Now, those who know me, know that I L-O-V-E salt. I would have a salt lick in the backyard like my bovine sisters if I could. So imagine my joy when the Dr told me I would need to consume 2000 mgs of additional salt a day. Apparently the liquid protein is so low in salt that you need to add it back in. I had visions of unwrapping shiny foil around tiny cubes of salty bullion and popping them in my mouth like candy. Then the Dr. said I could use pickles to get in my salt. Well, shoot! I like pickles so I decided to start with eating 2 pickles a day. At lunch on Day 1, I whipped out my brand new bottle of giant dills to find that each pickle has only 280 mgs of salt. Guess I should have checked this at the store. Hmm, got me thinking about what would happen if one consumed 7.25 pickles a day. Would you smell like Deli? Would Mr. Pickles be knocking at my door and tell me to get back to work? Seriously, I’ve decided to not test my assumptions and have gone back to the idea of eating bouillon cubes. 4 pm, just had my “snack” shake. Is it dinner time yet?
