    I'm in the State of confusion. So, there should be 58, unless we include the State of denial.

    After eating, we then visit the state of relaxation.

    Step on the bathroom scale, and it's the state of denial. For some, it's also the state of guilt!...…(lightweights)

    Then sit on the throne and it's the state of relief.
