1,373 calories in a day!

[Guest guest]

1,373 calories in a day. Hummmm, I wonder what I

consume in a day when I have the whole potato chip

bag.LOL I never get disgusted with myself. Tomorrow

is another day, you fast all night long so when you

wake you have already started your diet on a new day!

Don't stress, life is way too short!
