Counting calories, that is.
So I am allegedly on a diet. And you're rolling your eyes and going, "Here she goes again". I am a yo-yo dieter, but the string on my yo-yo is really short. Let's face facts - food is fucking amazing. I love food. I just had a piece of macaroni pie and a brownie. Any guilt? Not much. But I am getting way too fat. Loneliness also plays a major role in this whole food thing. My relationship with food is the longest relationship I have ever had, bar that of the one I have with my parents. When I have a crap day, I treat myself to something nice to comfort me. When I have a good day, I treat myself to something nice to pat myself on the back. When I feel lonely, I turn to ice cream or cake or some junk - to make me feel less alone. When I go out with friends, I need a wing or two with my liquor.
Food...is...great!
But getting fat is not. I look horrendous. I really try to eat better but sometimes life happens. Working late, you eat anything you've got and though I buy fruit and keep it on my desk, fruit is not filling, so I end up buying some crap and having "dinner" in the car while driving at 120kph. But I aim to lose a few pounds and will let you know how it goes.
Good luck with the diet and healthy eating - may try one myself!
ReplyDeleteDidn't mean that to sound as glib as it does - I have the worst diet too. I want to start eating better
ReplyDeleteDieting yuck!! I should be doing it too as have very many excess pounds. Good on you for trying again, may the pounds fall off you and the skinny Tamale re-emerge.
ReplyDeleteI decided a while back to get healthier and changed a lot of things and lost a lot of weight. The key thing that worked for me was I love to cook. So as a result I started figuring out ways to make my favorite foods significantly lower in fat and calories.

Good for you Tamale. I wish you luck and I hope you inspire us.
ReplyDeleteYou can do it- I could have written this myself. A year later, I'm still struggling to get it all off, but I'm getting closer to the brass ring.
