Cuisine

Today I did have a n egg salad and bacon croissant with coffee for breakfast. Lunch was peach yogurt and a handful of pistachios and dinner will be cabbage and corn beef, no rice. I did have 1 coke today along with 4 glasses of water.

I saw a quick blurb and very quick picture where Kirsty Ally has lost almost all of her weight and is looking good. Star Jones is also the incredible shrinking woman. She has just about whittled away to nothing. She looks good. Missy Elliott had lost some weight but I saw her perform recently and she looks like she has gained some back.

Loosing is hard. So very hard. Temptation is so great! At least it seems that way with me. It takes a lot of effort to say no to dessert. I have to keep telling myself that if I eat "THAT" (whatever it is), I will not be able to get into that sexy black dress for the holidays. Summer has passed and I did not get into my suit. There is always next summer. So far so good. I keep telling myself...don't eat it! Don't eat it! Don't eat it!

Ugly Woman Sues TV Show in Death of Sister

I have heard it all. This is just absolutely ridiculous!

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A Texas woman has sued ABC's popular reality show "Extreme Makeover" for more than $1 million claiming among other things that an abrupt cancellation of her appearance on the program led to her sister's death.

Deleese Williams of Conroe, Texas, claims she came to Los Angeles to be a contestant on the show after undergoing a series of medical exams to determine if her crooked teeth and droopy eyes could be fixed and her small breasts enhanced, according the suit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court.

The suit starts with the blunt description: "Deleese Williams is considered ugly" and says one doctor promised her "a Hollywood smile like Cindy Crawford."

To prepare for the show, the producers sent a crew to Texas in January 2004 to interview Williams and her family.

The suit claims the "Extreme Makeover" crew manipulated Williams' sister, Kellie, into making cruel statements about Williams' looks.

The night before Williams was to begin her makeover, the show's producers told her it would take too long for work on her jaw to heal. They canceled her appearance and sent Williams home where Kellie, distraught over what she had said about her sister, eventually killed herself, according to the suit.

"Sometimes Deleese blames herself for Kellie's death," the suit said.

An ABC spokeswoman was not immediately available to comment.
