  Quotations
  My grandmother said being organized led to success, so I set out to turn our fridge into a liquid dieter's paradise. First was detoxing the kitchen. I tossed out everything that would lead to temptation, like the leftover candy from Halloween, as well as everything that was expired and rotten.
