The Definitions of Dieting
Or Why Diets Are So Tough…
1. Salads I know I will be eating a salad at least once per day. Don’t get me wrong. I like salad, but I don’t like to eat them ALL the time.
2. Lean meats. Mostly I eat lean meats anyway. But I sure do like my juicy hamburgers!
3. Fish. I, of course, like the expensive stuff, like Lobster, Shrimp and Crab. I will simply have to learn to love Scrod and Haddock.
4. Water. Well, until I discovered Dasani and Fruit-2-O waters I really had trouble drinking that much water. Now I can get down enough water to make the diet work.
5. I will miss my chocolate! I love chocolate so much. I have often said that should we find the world would end tomorrow I would get as much dark chocolate as possible and every bottle of Tokai and go out with a smile on my face!
6. I will miss my cheap bread. Nothing like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on wonder bread. This diet requires whole wheat/whole grain bread. I somehow doubt that my PB&J will taste the same on that!
7. Exercise. Shoot. I wish I could miss that. But alas, I know I need to get out there and start walking with the puppies. I still maintain that exercise is a 4 letter word not to be uttered in mixed company! LOL
8. Sugar Free Jello-O. Yeah, that’ll be my “treat”. Now Jello never did it for me as a kid, and now I’m supposed to be all happy because I can eat the sugar free stuff twice a day!
9. Vegetables. Well, I do like a lot of veggies and my garden will be producing in about a month. I am so looking forward to that!
10. I will spend time trying new recipes. Perhaps I can actually find some new skinny recipes that taste good. If I do, I will share it with you all.
11. Ever notice how the diet recipes all start with a vegetable? Why not chocolate?
12. I plan to keep a diary on my computer of my weight, what I eat and the pounds lost.
13. When I weigh close to my goal weight I shall share it all with you. For now, knowing I am pleasingly plump will have to suffice. LOL
Wish you good luck to become a skinny minny ! My grandma used to say FDH (which means “friss die Hälfte”) which means Eat the half and that would be the best diet ! and I think it’s true if you fill yourself up with tea or water to not get hungry !
I think that all doesn’t sound so bad. For me, the exercise does the trick 😉
Dove makes some fantastic sugar free hard candies and soft chocolate candies. I’ve found that one will take care of my urge for an entire Hersey bar. Of coure sometimes I eat more than one!!!
Good luck fighting those extra pounds, I am sure it is only a couple but that’s the hardest thing!!! I know Gattina’s trick too *wink*
It’s so hard, isn’t it?? I am in the midst of it myself. I am bound and determined to go back to weight watchers though for the support.
Good Luck!

I so admire people on diets, what a hard thing to do – at least for me! Luckily I only have to do it very short periods to keep my weight under control. I’m not sure I would have managed longer periods…. phew! I love sandwiches and to eat too much. Not sweats, but food! YUMMY!
..and me and water don’t mix at all. Very tough to get it down. I’ve tried over a year earlier butt never got used to it.
My snacks though are: olives. I love olives, can’t live without them 🙂
Good luck with the diet!
Good luck, I hate diets!! 🙂
