8 Comments

“I drink 4-5 gallons a day—I still have a spare tyre and eat cakes in my sleep, but at least I have that water thing covered”

I see it in comment threads everywhere aswell as blog posts

Slender physique trumps fruit and vegetables for cancer prevention

2 Comments

According to a post made by The Age, staying slim and drinking less alcohol is a better way to ward off cancer than eating fruit and vegetables.

You can hold yourself in ANY one position and melt away the adipose fat around your belly AND shape your butt and thighs all in one masterful go!

Ok, so I MIGHT sound a little sarcastic right now, but that’s with good reason.
If you are a nano-second away from putting a down-payment on your first Vibrate Plate, you’d best go to the nearest mirror, slap yourself in the face repeatedly whilst reciting “I won’t buy stupid sh*t any more. Ever, ever, ever.”
