You will look better with that 32″ waist eating more fresh fruits and vegetables sleeping eight hours nightly doing first things first and getting many things done. You might feel righteous and virtuous and even gleeful with squeaky-clean windows and a clutter-free car and a bright white sink empty of contents Your friends and your [...]
