Topic: Hate it -- in a good way :D
I started the thread below on ediets, and got a pretty good response. In context, the ediets posting board is a cornucopia of helpful advice, proactive suggestions, and supportive, friendly travelers on the common road to good health. In my first week, I was in a mood to hear none of it.

This is the thread if you're on a low swing. There are threads aplenty for
us when we need encouragement or guidance-- this is for those on the
bottom of their mood swing, at the end of their patience, at the lowest
blood sugar you can have barring hypoglycemia. This is for those who are
like me today-- and we all get these days, we just won't admit it. Days
when you could care less what the meal of the day is, because your
coworkers have yet again placed a large candy dish in front of your desk.
When your stomache is clawing its way up your chest, your head is
pounding, and the act of resisting what your body wants is slowly using up
your whole hard drive like a virus.
I hate my diet. I hate it with a fiery passion that knows no release. It
is the right thing for my body, but my body doesn't know it--all it knows
is that the things it has grown used to are gone. I hate my diet with much
hate. It makes me suffer, it makes me irritable, it delays my projects and
slows my mind while it eats my patience; it makes my stomache hurt and my
head ache, and for all of these things I hate it. And every time I swim in
this hate like a cold black pool, I say this:
I am goddamned if I will go through it more than once.
There is cursing on this thread, I warn you, and invite you. If diets
didn't have such a hold on us we wouldn't need ediets, so post, post, post
your bitches, gripes and complaints, petty, selfish, ranting-- there must
be a place for it here-- just so we can read them over later & laugh.

Susan! I am laughing out loud at my desk and my co-workers are thinking
I've lost my mind! That was SO funny--because it was so true!
I HATE ALL OF THAT TOO! In addition, I hate skinny people who eat like
hogs, and I hate the people who eat three donuts like it's nothin'!
I hate the entire Hershey Corporation and whoever dreamed up the satanic
idea of ice cream sandwiches.
I hate my best friend's perfectly formed legs. I hate my co-worker's
dedication to go swimming every morning at 5:00 am, when I barely make it
out of bed to make it to work on time!
And, the thing I hate the most is WATER. I hate water. I hate going to the
bathroom every 20 minutes, and I hate not drinking pepsi!
Thanks for letting me vent. I feel much better now!

Oh, thank God, a thread for my evil twin!! I have now blown over an hour
that I should have spent working on a project posting here and there,
because I needed a way not to go get one of the cookies left over from our
meeting. If my IS department ever decides to audit how much time I spend
here, they are going to make me give back some of my paycheck! I tried
very hard during the meeting to remember that the skinny, blonde, young
women who were eating chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin cookies, while I
drank more water, are both my friends and my mentees, and that I do not
REALLY want them to develop elephantiasis. I will seek you out on my dark
days!

I'm with you on the water thing-- magic weight loss potion indeeed-- the
only thing magic about it is that it makes me disappear from my desk every
twenty minutes.
My stomache will *not* stop hurting--I want to tell myself there's
something medically wrong, that I *have* to break this plan or imminent
medical disater will occur. But I remember this, it happens for about
three days. Antacids help a little, but my stomache takes three days to be
convinced that the meal truck is not coming at its request. The demon is
dying a slow and painful death. Die, die, you tyrrannical f----r! At times
like this I feel water hitting my stomache like a white shower, cooling
off the irritation.
It's one of the few times I'm glad I drink it-- Jesus, how much water are
we supposed to drink? Are we really suposed to get used to visiting the
can every 30 minutes for the rest of our lives? I'm going to get callouses
from wiping between my legs-- I'll have to invest in my own bath tissue
just to keep it from running out every day.
This sucks. I ask my coworkers to stop putting this dish of chocolates in
front of me at the reception desk and they just smile and say I'll have to
learn self-control. Why, please, do the postal workers get to have all the
fun?
It's like having a four-year old at your skit, tugging on you every
fiveminute-- "can I have some chocolate now? Now? How 'bout now?" And
every time I say no. She will ask me thirty more times today and I will
say no. Not "not yet", not "maybe later". I hate this little girl, and she
hates me for saying no, and we have solidarity in hating our diet.
Did I mention I hate this?

God, I know how you feel. I have finished my exercise today, and I feel
like Sh**. My arms & legs feel like lead, and I haven't done a single
thing but watch tv.
I would like to curl up with a glass of wine and watch tv for the rest of
the day.

LOL, Susan this is brilliant. I was just at the gym, and although I was a
good girl and did my 40 minutes on the elliptical, I was thinking the
WHOLE TIME: This is the worst 40 minutes of my life. This is the worst 40
minutes of my life. It DID NOT make it go by faster ! :) I DO feel go
afterwards, but somehow the cardio exercise just is pure torture to me, I
know the minute I reach my goal I'll stop and probably sabotage myself
again. But I know I won't lose without it, my fat is CLINGING TO MY BONES,
dieting alone only makes it laugh at me.
And WHAT IS UP with cravings? I don't feel deprived on this diet, I
actually think there is plenty of food. But last night, as I couldn't even
FINISH my dinner, I was wandering around the house, searching searching
for something else... I don't even know what. I DID have a glass of wine
and watch TV Heather, hahaha, that actually helped! Rant on ladies!!

My hate of the day:
I hate the dirty bastards who put the junk food vending machines where I
have to walk right past them every single day.
I especially hate the jerks who intentionally stock them with all my
favorites, and NOTHING that is low fat! Would it kill them to stick in
some non-fat pretzels? Or at least some Baked Lays potato chips? I think
it is a big conspiracy contrived by the skinny people. Apparently, they
think their ranks are full and they don't want me to join them. Well, TOO
BAD. Whether they like it or not, I am going to be a skinny person, just
out of spite!

Leslie...You feel full?!!How long have you been doing this?Maybe your
stomach has shrunk already...Today was the first time I felt I could
actually go without my snack if I had to, I mean I would'nt die or
anything....but of course I ate it for lack of better things to do.
It makes me hungry just listening to how much everybody works
out........:)

I'm feeling your pain-I was on the chat line yesterday, inquiring on the
very issue of the vending machine monster-their ideas?!? stay away from
it, don't bring change to work, there is nothing in there you want. Do you
want to know what I say? I say bullshit-I'm thinking of sneaking into the
lunchroom in the middle of the night and smashing it to pieces!!!!! ok, i

MICKYWICK, I have been on 3 weeks. I used to never eat meals. I grazed at
night. So breakfast is new, snacks are new... multiple things for lunch is
new, certainly cooknig a real dinner is new. The portions haven't bothered
me as much as me missing some seriously starchy carbs :)

I hate the idea of dieting. I hate feeling like I'm depriving myself. And
I hate the idea of admitting to myself that I need help.

Leslie, we had paralell experiences this week-- I was talking to my
personal trainer last night--muscular and buff rather than skinny, I like
her-- and she asked me about my week. I told her it had gone okay, though
Thursday I'd felt very tired and sore and gotton there too late for yoga.
The exchange went like this:
"Did you feel better once you got here?"
"No, I was deeply tired and totally depressed. But I worked out for 30
minutes on the elliptical anyway."
"Ah. That made you feel better, didn't it?"
"No, I hated it and left feeling cruddy. But I did it."
Maybe what I'm trying to break here with this thread is that it doesn't
matter what you feel like, you still do it. Kicking, screaming, bitching
and clawing doesn't make the fat go away, nor should it stem the tide of
the process.
But it sure as hell makes you feel better sometimes :D
OK, back to the negativity. More chocolate this morning, and I haven't
touched one since I started this thing. Yay me! (Screw this diet!!!)

Susan--don't leave me hangin'!
What did Ms. Buff Personal Trainer say after you said, "No, I hated it and
left feeling cruddy. But I did it." ?? Surely, she had some tidbit of
"wisdom" to make everything all better.
The personal trainers at the gym I just joined have put up these "cutesy"
little motivational sayings up all over the walls of the ladies locker
room, and that drives me nuts! I just want to rip the pink papers into
little bitty shreds and stomp on them! Hey--that would be considered
exercise, wouldn't it?!
By the way, I love this thread! I am so glad to know that there are others
like me who HATE this weight loss/healthy lifestyle crap as much as I do!
I believe that venting rage burns calories! AND--I am sure that my friends
and family prefer that I tell yall about how much I hate this rather than
them! Besides, my skinny friends can't relate to my disgust with the
Keebler Elves and my utter hatred for the creator of the wonder-bra.
(Aka--I WONDER why it hurts so much!)

You know what I hate? I hate that my almost perfect boyfriend can eat
anything and everything and doesn't gain a thing!! (As a matter of fact
he's lost more then I have since the New Year) He's constantly munching on
cookies and other snacks. Sometimes I just want to SCREAM at him! But I
don't because I know it's not HIS fault. Still, why do men have the GREAT
metabolims when WE are the ones who are asked to be thin and lovely our
entire lives!?

I hate the Food Channel- I think Emeril must be stopped!
I hate the way they show Grace (from "Will and Grace"- thurs 9pm) always
eating cookies and other sweets on the show- please, like she even EATS!
I hate the "fat" clothes in my closet and the lady at the dept store who
looks at me and automatically knows my BIG size.
I think whoever invented little debbie snack cakes invested in Big and
Tall stores.
I hate that little debbie snacks are only .25 cents each at the store.
I hate that they put the candy near the register at the grocery store!
There IS a reason I skipped that aisle!
AND... I HATE water... isn't there some way to have it intraveniously
(sp?) injected while I sleep?
Thanks for the vent space- I feel much better now!

Sidneylou, I know what you mean about "sharing" here vs. with others. My
office mate (who is a man that eats chocolate donughts every single day in
front of me but doesn't gain an ounce) is so sick of me just going on and
on about weight and diets, giving ounce by ounce reports on my water, and
of course covering for me while I sneak out early to the gym! :) I am sure
he will celebrate as much as I will when (oh no, not if, WHEN) I reach
goal, because then I will SHUT UP about my weight and talk about something
else (probably my hair, lol).
My hate for the day: CONTROL TOP. I want to throw up wearing these things.

Sorry, Mary-- after I told Melissa I'd worked out and felt *crappy* she
stoopped trying drop the fitness pearls of wisdom-- I like a girl who can
take a hint....
So glad you're getting gratification out of this thread, like me. I'm
considered normally cheery by my friends, but I'm also pretty high-
energy, and this is great for blowing off steam. In a way, it's a
terstement to how much more energy I actually have now-- now I just have
to channel it! :)
OK, I *habe* to stop using these cute little smilies on this thread--
stop, stop, bad Susan!

Okay...the hate has not been flowing here for a little while, so I will
add one that we probably all can agree on....I HATE WEEKENDS!..it is
soooooo difficult for me on the weekend not to cheat when my husband and
children are shoveling in Pizza and chips during the football games ...I
WANT some!
Ususally my day off of cooking is Saturday where we all go out to eat for
something yummy...today I had to say no while the rest of the fam went out
to eat.I just know I could not be a good girl and order within my
limits...I don't want to fall off the plan, or gain anything back for fear
that I may never start again!
Okay, I'll get off my pitty potty now.I am hatefull today!

I hate that my husband can lose 10 pounds by only eating one scoop of ice

watch the scale move down a miniscule amount.

My mantra while I shop-- "Who ARE these people? Who buys these things?"
'Hello, can I have 7 eggs, 2 oz. of low-fat peanut butter, and 6 ounces of
pineapple juice please?" What the hell is that? And what the hell are they
doing putting *cream cheese* in a burrito? What's wrong with low-fat sour
cream? Do they have no shame? This is ridiculous, buying tubs of
ingrdients for what turns out to be a single use all week- I spent 60$ for
just me this past week! Paid, too, for the priviledge of preparing it all
myself-- I have no time! I'm busy! Look, there's the Little Debbie endcap,
25 cents and there's lunch--easy! AAAUUUGH!
OK, now *I'm* laughing. Time to stop.

I thought the food thing was weird too at first, but stick with it, those
ingredients will come back again! I was throwing out extras until I saw
the continuum, ohhhh.
But I DO buy a lot of stuff at a bulk store, it is so cute, I have tiny
little baggies of wheat germ, bulger, granola, and its cheap!
My hate of the day: MICROWAVE POPCORN. I try to focus on my job, but I
work with all men who snack snack snack and the smell of that stuff KILLS
me, as I sit here with a stupid apple, whose only approximation to buttery
popcorn is that it get stuck in my teeth.

I am a Canadian so I am of course addicted to donuts which are a diet
nightmare (especially these great things called Timbits 20 for $1.99)! So
I call my hate my diet days -'donut days'. These are days when all I
really want is to eat 20 Timbits for breakfast. I have been following this
diet for two days now and I have had two donut days so far so as you can
tell it's going well...

I am loving this thread! This is a great idea.
I hate that I have to think about loosing weight all day EVERY day. There
isn't a time that I can forget about it and go about my business. I have
to plan for the gym. I have to plan my meals. I have to find out where we
are going out to dinner so I can plan what to order that will not blow it
for me. I have to will myself to NOT order dessert. This is maddening!
Every hour of every day is consumed with planning!
Oh yeah, I also hate jeans! They are the most uncomfortable things ever
made. What are other choices for casual wear that are not jeans?
I hate "big" clothing stores. all the clothes are hiddeous (sp) and tents.
Why can't you buy a cute cocktail dress in a "big" store? Every dress is
just 100 yards of fabric rolled into a tube with another 100 yards made
into a jacket.
I also hate stores in the mall that have signs in the window: " We now
have size 0". Gee, thanks for rubbing it in.

What a great thread, I've never posted before, just read them every now
and then for inspiration or at least a good laugh. I really like this one.
. .a place to vent. I'm in my 4th week and have lost 10 lbs, yeah me, but
I'm 5'4" and now 170 so a long way to go before it's over. My two best
friends at work are skinny minny's. One is an aerobic teacher and the
other is 5'7" and kma if she weighs 100 lbs. It's kinda funny though, here
I am obese and there she is anorexic. She has to buy size "0" and then
take them in for alterations because they're too big!!!! I really pray
that I don't have that problem. Just thought I'd finally join in. Keep up
the good work.

I HATE my period.
I was doing great. I was exercising, eDieting, water water water, happy
about being in control,
THEN...
in one fell swoop I lose it. I am so bloated my clothes are back to where
they were 5 lbs ago. My body rejects all things healthy and demands carbs.
I eat twice my allowance for dinner, then "NEED" to wash it down with two
glasses of wine.
Why does our body do this to us?? ARGGGGGHHHH.

And what the hell is up with my body?? I haven't been following the diet--
I've been following *under* the diet-- yes, my hunger is less, and I work
out cardio vascular 4x a week and yoga twice a week-- and no loss for 2
weeks! Grr!
Fine, I'll extend the workouts from 30 to 45 minutes and add weight
training. Phooey!

like Sh**. My arms & legs feel like lead, and I haven't done a single
thing but watch tv.
I would like to curl up with a glass of wine and watch tv for the rest of
the day.

LOL, Susan this is brilliant. I was just at the gym, and although I was a
good girl and did my 40 minutes on the elliptical, I was thinking the
WHOLE TIME: This is the worst 40 minutes of my life. This is the worst 40
minutes of my life. It DID NOT make it go by faster ! :) I DO feel go
afterwards, but somehow the cardio exercise just is pure torture to me, I
know the minute I reach my goal I'll stop and probably sabotage myself
again. But I know I won't lose without it, my fat is CLINGING TO MY BONES,
dieting alone only makes it laugh at me.
And WHAT IS UP with cravings? I don't feel deprived on this diet, I
actually think there is plenty of food. But last night, as I couldn't even
FINISH my dinner, I was wandering around the house, searching searching
for something else... I don't even know what. I DID have a glass of wine
and watch TV Heather, hahaha, that actually helped! Rant on ladies!!

My hate of the day:
I hate the dirty bastards who put the junk food vending machines where I
have to walk right past them every single day.
I especially hate the jerks who intentionally stock them with all my
favorites, and NOTHING that is low fat! Would it kill them to stick in
some non-fat pretzels? Or at least some Baked Lays potato chips? I think
it is a big conspiracy contrived by the skinny people. Apparently, they
think their ranks are full and they don't want me to join them. Well, TOO
BAD. Whether they like it or not, I am going to be a skinny person, just
out of spite!

Leslie...You feel full?!!How long have you been doing this?Maybe your
stomach has shrunk already...Today was the first time I felt I could
actually go without my snack if I had to, I mean I would'nt die or
anything....but of course I ate it for lack of better things to do.
It makes me hungry just listening to how much everybody works
out........:)

I'm feeling your pain-I was on the chat line yesterday, inquiring on the
very issue of the vending machine monster-their ideas?!? stay away from
it, don't bring change to work, there is nothing in there you want. Do you
want to know what I say? I say bullshit-I'm thinking of sneaking into the
lunchroom in the middle of the night and smashing it to pieces!!!!! ok, i
feel better

MICKYWICK, I have been on 3 weeks. I used to never eat meals. I grazed at
night. So breakfast is new, snacks are new... multiple things for lunch is
new, certainly cooknig a real dinner is new. The portions haven't bothered
me as much as me missing some seriously starchy carbs :)

I hate the idea of dieting. I hate feeling like I'm depriving myself. And
I hate the idea of admitting to myself that I need help.

Leslie, we had paralell experiences this week-- I was talking to my
personal trainer last night--muscular and buff rather than skinny, I like
her-- and she asked me about my week. I told her it had gone okay, though
Thursday I'd felt very tired and sore and gotton there too late for yoga.
The exchange went like this:
"Did you feel better once you got here?"
"No, I was deeply tired and totally depressed. But I worked out for 30
minutes on the elliptical anyway."
"Ah. That made you feel better, didn't it?"
"No, I hated it and left feeling cruddy. But I did it."
Maybe what I'm trying to break here with this thread is that it doesn't
matter what you feel like, you still do it. Kicking, screaming, bitching
and clawing doesn't make the fat go away, nor should it stem the tide of
the process.
But it sure as hell makes you feel better sometimes :D
OK, back to the negativity. More chocolate this morning, and I haven't
touched one since I started this thing. Yay me! (Screw this diet!!!)

Susan--don't leave me hangin'!
What did Ms. Buff Personal Trainer say after you said, "No, I hated it and
left feeling cruddy. But I did it." ?? Surely, she had some tidbit of
"wisdom" to make everything all better.
The personal trainers at the gym I just joined have put up these "cutesy"
little motivational sayings up all over the walls of the ladies locker
room, and that drives me nuts! I just want to rip the pink papers into
little bitty shreds and stomp on them! Hey--that would be considered
exercise, wouldn't it?!
By the way, I love this thread! I am so glad to know that there are others
like me who HATE this weight loss/healthy lifestyle crap as much as I do!
I believe that venting rage burns calories! AND--I am sure that my friends
and family prefer that I tell yall about how much I hate this rather than
them! Besides, my skinny friends can't relate to my disgust with the
Keebler Elves and my utter hatred for the creator of the wonder-bra.
(Aka--I WONDER why it hurts so much!)

You know what I hate? I hate that my almost perfect boyfriend can eat
anything and everything and doesn't gain a thing!! (As a matter of fact
he's lost more then I have since the New Year) He's constantly munching on
cookies and other snacks. Sometimes I just want to SCREAM at him! But I
don't because I know it's not HIS fault. Still, why do men have the GREAT
metabolims when WE are the ones who are asked to be thin and lovely our
entire lives!?

I hate the Food Channel- I think Emeril must be stopped!
I hate the way they show Grace (from "Will and Grace"- thurs 9pm) always
eating cookies and other sweets on the show- please, like she even EATS!
I hate the "fat" clothes in my closet and the lady at the dept store who
looks at me and automatically knows my BIG size.
I think whoever invented little debbie snack cakes invested in Big and
Tall stores.
I hate that little debbie snacks are only .25 cents each at the store.
I hate that they put the candy near the register at the grocery store!
There IS a reason I skipped that aisle!
AND... I HATE water... isn't there some way to have it intraveniously
(sp?) injected while I sleep?
Thanks for the vent space- I feel much better now!

Sidneylou, I know what you mean about "sharing" here vs. with others. My
office mate (who is a man that eats chocolate donughts every single day in
front of me but doesn't gain an ounce) is so sick of me just going on and
on about weight and diets, giving ounce by ounce reports on my water, and
of course covering for me while I sneak out early to the gym! :) I am sure
he will celebrate as much as I will when (oh no, not if, WHEN) I reach
goal, because then I will SHUT UP about my weight and talk about something
else (probably my hair, lol).
My hate for the day: CONTROL TOP. I want to throw up wearing these things.

Sorry, Mary-- after I told Melissa I'd worked out and felt *crappy* she
stoopped trying drop the fitness pearls of wisdom-- I like a girl who can
take a hint....
So glad you're getting gratification out of this thread, like me. I'm
considered normally cheery by my friends, but I'm also pretty high-
energy, and this is great for blowing off steam. In a way, it's a
terstement to how much more energy I actually have now-- now I just have
to channel it! :)
OK, I *habe* to stop using these cute little smilies on this thread--
stop, stop, bad Susan!

Okay...the hate has not been flowing here for a little while, so I will
add one that we probably all can agree on....I HATE WEEKENDS!..it is
soooooo difficult for me on the weekend not to cheat when my husband and
children are shoveling in Pizza and chips during the football games ...I
WANT some!
Ususally my day off of cooking is Saturday where we all go out to eat for
something yummy...today I had to say no while the rest of the fam went out
to eat.I just know I could not be a good girl and order within my
limits...I don't want to fall off the plan, or gain anything back for fear
that I may never start again!
Okay, I'll get off my pitty potty now.I am hatefull today!

I hate that my husband can lose 10 pounds by only eating one scoop of ice
cream at night and I have to count every morsel of food for three days to
watch the scale move down a miniscule amount.

My mantra while I shop-- "Who ARE these people? Who buys these things?"
'Hello, can I have 7 eggs, 2 oz. of low-fat peanut butter, and 6 ounces of
pineapple juice please?" What the hell is that? And what the hell are they
doing putting *cream cheese* in a burrito? What's wrong with low-fat sour
cream? Do they have no shame? This is ridiculous, buying tubs of
ingrdients for what turns out to be a single use all week- I spent 60$ for
just me this past week! Paid, too, for the priviledge of preparing it all
myself-- I have no time! I'm busy! Look, there's the Little Debbie endcap,
25 cents and there's lunch--easy! AAAUUUGH!
OK, now *I'm* laughing. Time to stop.

I thought the food thing was weird too at first, but stick with it, those
ingredients will come back again! I was throwing out extras until I saw
the continuum, ohhhh.
But I DO buy a lot of stuff at a bulk store, it is so cute, I have tiny
little baggies of wheat germ, bulger, granola, and its cheap!
My hate of the day: MICROWAVE POPCORN. I try to focus on my job, but I
work with all men who snack snack snack and the smell of that stuff KILLS
me, as I sit here with a stupid apple, whose only approximation to buttery
popcorn is that it get stuck in my teeth.

I am a Canadian so I am of course addicted to donuts which are a diet
nightmare (especially these great things called Timbits 20 for $1.99)! So
I call my hate my diet days -'donut days'. These are days when all I
really want is to eat 20 Timbits for breakfast. I have been following this
diet for two days now and I have had two donut days so far so as you can
tell it's going well...

I am loving this thread! This is a great idea.
I hate that I have to think about loosing weight all day EVERY day. There
isn't a time that I can forget about it and go about my business. I have
to plan for the gym. I have to plan my meals. I have to find out where we
are going out to dinner so I can plan what to order that will not blow it
for me. I have to will myself to NOT order dessert. This is maddening!
Every hour of every day is consumed with planning!
Oh yeah, I also hate jeans! They are the most uncomfortable things ever
made. What are other choices for casual wear that are not jeans?
I hate "big" clothing stores. all the clothes are hiddeous (sp) and tents.
Why can't you buy a cute cocktail dress in a "big" store? Every dress is
just 100 yards of fabric rolled into a tube with another 100 yards made
into a jacket.
I also hate stores in the mall that have signs in the window: " We now
have size 0". Gee, thanks for rubbing it in.

OK, this is good! Lots and lots of venting, and I feel better. Ladies, I
am pleased and proud to be associated with women so verbally adept at
expressing their frustration. (Is that a high-end way of saying
bitches?:D)
More later, as the 28-day cyle repeats!

What a great thread, I've never posted before, just read them every now
and then for inspiration or at least a good laugh. I really like this one.
. .a place to vent. I'm in my 4th week and have lost 10 lbs, yeah me, but
I'm 5'4" and now 170 so a long way to go before it's over. My two best
friends at work are skinny minny's. One is an aerobic teacher and the
other is 5'7" and kma if she weighs 100 lbs. It's kinda funny though, here
I am obese and there she is anorexic. She has to buy size "0" and then
take them in for alterations because they're too big!!!! I really pray
that I don't have that problem. Just thought I'd finally join in. Keep up
the good work.

I HATE my period.
I was doing great. I was exercising, eDieting, water water water, happy
about being in control,
THEN...
in one fell swoop I lose it. I am so bloated my clothes are back to where
they were 5 lbs ago. My body rejects all things healthy and demands carbs.
I eat twice my allowance for dinner, then "NEED" to wash it down with two
glasses of wine.
Why does our body do this to us?? ARGGGGGHHHH.

And what the hell is up with my body?? I haven't been following the diet--
I've been following *under* the diet-- yes, my hunger is less, and I work
out cardio vascular 4x a week and yoga twice a week-- and no loss for 2
weeks! Grr!
Fine, I'll extend the workouts from 30 to 45 minutes and add weight
training. Phooey!
