Since I was a young girl, I have been "exposed" to dieting and many various diets. My mother was always overweight, and joined a T.O.P.S Club, when I was only about eight years old, and then was one of the founding members of two other T.O.P.S. organizations. I know of all of the different diet pills, the different diets, the... More..
