'Diet', at some points of my life, had been the most underused word in my vocabulary. That was the time i could bolt chocolate,chips,cookies,cakes..all sorts of snacks ravenously without the slightest hint of guilt. My dieting friends envied me for being able to enjoy food n yet the body nv sufferred the consequences. Aww...how i miss those days...i miss looking at my own reflection in the mirror with pleasure..i miss gnawing kit kat bars btw meals and snacking pringles while watching telly...i miss the feeling of being the role model among my dieting friends...i miss so many things i used to have but now they r all vanished and i wonder if i'll ever have them all back again. Is it becoz i'm old now?metabolic rate drops?hormone level is different?British food is more fattening?less exercise?? i've tried anything i cud to lose weight but none of them seems to work. I ever tried apple diet ( 3 days of apples, nothing else) but ended up feeling weak n sick so i gav up...i ever tried working out in the gym 5 days a week for half a yr but the result wasnt satisfying as i looked built with the muscles and my weight din change....then i swtiched to low carb diet, followed by low fat n high fibre diet..still,my weight din dip down and wat's worse was i got bowel bloatedness after high fibre meal. My latest diet plan is to cut down calorie intake by restristing it to 1000cal a day.Yes..1000 cal!!If u r aware of the calorie content of each food u'll have an idea how little i eat to keep to the limit. Even a piece of reduced fat biscuit is 44 cal!!! I myself was skeptical when i was counting the calories. All the food labels reading n reduced fat food hunting make me spend 20 min more than usual in Sainsbury's. And, everytime i nearly reach the snacks department, i hav to make the effort to divert jz to avoid the temptations.Torturing!!!I wish i cud be a little less care abt my weight so dat i wudnt be eaten up by the tot of 'DIET' and indulged myself in the food i love. But, the question is can i not care?..guess i'll only stop dieting when i hav the answer.
My new favourite..Look, it has all the criteria dieters ask for - Light+Reduced Calorie+Low in Saturated Fat+Unsweetened :):)
Me n helen both got addicted to Rich Tea..seems like this is the only choice of biscuits for dieters wic explains why we love it so much
Starbucks coffee is fattening so i switched to sugar-free options...Mark "SV" on the cup - stands for sugar-free vanila syrup :P
