Anybody else obsessed with insane headlins on Woman's World Magazine?

Insane Woman's World Magazine headlines for the week:

"PMS? CURE IT WITH A BAKED POTATO!"
"BURGER TOPPINGS that *INCREASE HAPPINESS! *REDUCE ANXIETY! *STOP INSOMNIA!"
"Lose 18 lbs in 6 weeks eating SUGAR BLOCKING BROWNIES!"

So much crazy that I just HAD to buy it.
There's alwasy all this weird food obsession and sticky cakes with gallons of frosting, and also a Miracle Diet.

chocolate cake with gobs of frosting stuck in one of the corners of the magazine. Seems counterproductive if I'm trying to lose up to 10 pounds in a week.
