Diets - Are they worth it?
I've started another diet today. Yes another. And now I've been dieting for nearly two years and have managed to gain an impressive stone since I started my diet.If you know me you've had to listen to me banging on about my diets. Literally boring everyone to tears.
Forcing people to buy "Diet Lemonade" in bars for me when ordering rounds, switching around from not wishing to be invited to restaurants to wanting to eat everything on the menu. Telling patient waiters that I don't want the rice or potatoes one week and then give me nothing but rice and potatoes the next.
Well right here is where I face the facts.
Diets are for people who wish to gain attention from all around them
Diets only serve to force you to think about food ALL THE TIME
Diets are ....
Well I'm not going to lose weight on a diet let's face it. I'm only going to lose weight by forgetting about food altogether - in fact by forgetting all about WEIGHT altogether - and the only way to do that in this lean-obsessive media environment is to decide I'm actually OK and am the right weight.
And actually I am.
It's the rest of the world that has shrunk.
So I'm off to Sainsbury's to buy houmus and greek salad and more packets of buggery All Bran and jump on this pre-Christmas post holiday merry-go-round and tell myself that this time I'm disciplined enough to do it and that if I can do it for a week then I'm out of the woods...
From now on it's Avocado Salad and Carrot juice (I kid you not - I've got the carrots and I intend to use them- And Marks and Spencers do a great Avocado and Bacon Salad pre packed )
I'm 13 stone 2 and3/4 today (Monday). By next week I'm hoping to at least be under the 13 mark by shitting out the contents of my body.. I'll let you know my progress .
