Diet Bracelet

A few years ago a friend gave me a bracelet made of quartz crystals to help me stick to the diet I was on at the time, because they're supposed to give you strength and help you achieve your goals. Or something. I don't believe in the magic power of crystals, but I do know that every time I reached out for a chocolate bar or a slice of pizza, I saw the diet bracelet and remembered I wasn't supposed to be eating food like that. So in a way, it did help.

The crystal bracelet snapped and I lost it, but the next time I went on a diet I bought myself a new diet bracelet (this one is red) to help me remember not to eat fattening foods. I think all these little tricks help, even if they don't actually have a direct effect on my body, they have an effect on my mind.
