OK! So I resolved to hit to four-letter word - D-I-E-T! After months of debating over 'should I,' 'When to Start', 'It's not yet time', 'tomorrow I'll Start', I finally got around to at least planning for it. And yes, I even wrote a "Mission: To Lose Weight" at 12:30 AM last night that hangs (conveniently) on the door of the fridge, below the box of chocolates I received 2 days back. Wow! That must be some thought. But I guess, the position is kind of strategic - after all, if I can avoid reaching out to the box, I guess that's half the battle won.
Why am I even writing this on my blog? Well, I guess it's just my way to try and regain control over my life and the ever-widening waist line! Maybe, when I read about this on the internet and wonder if half the world has read this, it just might work as the motivating factor!
So anyways, the great D-I-E-T kick started today. I have been quite enthusiastic about it, I must say. I have the ten-pointer that I hope to follow as I look at it every moment I pass by the kitchen. And while I did have the glass of lukewarm water that's supposed to melt my accumulated fat (yikes, and how!), I immediately broke the rule by gorging on a choco-chip muffin! And then, lunch was the very promising bowl of papaya, broken again by eating an hour later, because I just couldn't survive the hunger pangs!
And each time I reached out to something I really shouldn't even think of, I kept thinking of all the smart outfits I could don, if I just came down by a couple of sizes! It all seems a little unfair to me - why should I be the one struggling to get into shape? Why can't this be a little easy?
Anyway, hopefully gym starts a couple of days later. Till then, I guess I'll stick to my ten-pointer and hope that a lot of guilt sets over me each time I eye the bright golden wrapped home-made chocolates.
Till tomorrow...
