If I were brilliant enough, I would come up with a diet that was composed of candy, soda, ice cream and all the little joys in life but in a way that was nutriously filling and healthy.

While I haven't come up with this diet, someone has come up with a cookie diet. This cookie diet, also known as Smartforlife, is centered around eating cookies and milkshakes throughout the day leading up to a high protein dinner.

The cookies seem to come in delicious traditional flavors, such as chocolate chip, and are most likely enhanced with something that fits the average person's dietary needs.

The cookie diet also pledges to help you lose up to 15 pounds per month.

Here is the link to the Smartforlife Web site.

What do you think? Can a cookie diet help you lose weight?

Dark jeans, light jeans, faded jeans, black jeans, white jeans, fat jeans, skinny jeans.

The last two on that list are probably the only two most of us care about. They are the jeans we wear when we are feeling fatter, bloated or bigger and the jeans we strive to wear someday.

"Skinny jeans" has become a token term these days for a particular style of jeans. To me, it has nothing to do with style. It has to do with where I'm at now and where I ultimately want to be.

Skinny jeans mean different things to different people. I know that I personally have a pair of skinny jeans that I actually used to wear when I was skinnier and another pair that I've never worn in my life. For me, these two pairs of jeans hold two seperate purposes:

1.) The pair I have worn before proves to remind me that I've worn them before and I can fit into them again.

2.) The pair I have never worn gives me something to shoot for, be it far or otherwise.

For me, this is a barometer to track how much I've lost and how much more I have to go. For others, a scale will do just fine.

What do you think? Do you use your scale to determine how much weight you've lost?
