Sometimes you have to lie…

When I was a young girl in my early twenties my dad gave me some advice. I didn’t agree with him at the time but sometimes when you get older, you realize that your parent is right. And that maybe you should have listened to them.

He said to me, “Sometimes you have to lie.”

This was before I knew that he lied after WW II. If he had told the truth that he was born in Ukraine he would have been sent back to Russia.

So he lied.

He said that he was Polish and his papers from Ellis Island prove it. They say he was born in Poland. When I asked him about he explained.

It makes perfect sense.

If he had told the truth, he wouldn’t have been able to come to the United States. He wouldn’t have met my mother and I wouldn’t be here.

One thing that is NOT a lie is that my friend Charlotte lost 8 pounds using the methods in my book. “Zipping It up: How to lose 5 pounds fast and look great in that little black dress.”

Not only did she lose weight.

She dropped 2 dress sizes and is HAPPY being thinner!

So there you go. If you do decide to lie…

Make sure it’s for a good reason and that you won’t be hurting someone you care about while doing it.

For the raw TRUTH go here:
Sometimes you have to lose a few pounds…
