At dinner yesterday, I watched my aunt go through all of her cabinets to compose the erfect" meal. Low calories, low sodium, low sat. fats, no trans fat, no higgonphiloglamaihystamineporchikulgivensday additives, you know the scene. She cooked this HUGE feast, containing everything everyone could ever want, and it looked wonderful. ANDDDDDDDDD, it was "healthy". I took a bite, and it tasted like complete crap. So, I shoved the food down quickly (not allowed to waste anything), fed most of it to the dog (dog's gotta eat too) and loaded up on a big old bowl of ice cream. She started lecturing me about how unhealthy ice cream and sweets were, yadda yadda meteorites and rabid monkeys or something.
But now I'm beginning to think about it a little. Everyone doing the healthy dieting thing is skinny or getting there quickly. While I'm currently losing a good bit of weight, I'm doing it all by just exercising( I don't care so much about skinny I am, just so long as I retain a somewhat feminine figure and don't look like a dumpling). I'm eating whatever I want to, really. I'm still losing a good bit of weight (almost 5 lbs a week, and I've gone down 2-3 pants sizes, from exercise alone) but imagine how much more I could be losing if I watched what I eat, right?
I decided to try it yesterday and today. When I woke up, I had plain oatmeal. Yum? For lunch, I had a salad (ok, I do really love salads. Lots of spinach!), and for dinner I had this weird nutrisystem whatchacallit thing that my aunt gave me to try and a yogurt. I was feeling good- nice and energetic and healthy and wow!
So today I stuffed down a candy bar and chips and dip for breakfast. To be honest, I feel even better than I did yesterday (and my belt needs to be tightened again!)
