Diet – A universal turn-off, after bad breath of course!

I have decided to diet again.

The first thing that came to my mind as i wrote the last sentence was the song "Its all coming back to me now" with my mind’s eye picturing flying bowls of morbid looking vegetables and more vegetables if you please .. not to mention steaming pots of funny smelling portions of soup with Celine Dion crooning in the background!

You think its disgusting ? I agree,but then you don’t get to hear people giving you frank opinions about how u look...“Oh did you say 28,” a sweeping look up and down “you are that young ..i dint know !? ”. and all you want to do is stick out your tongue and say, "oh shut up!" What ever happened to the good old days when people gave their opinions only when they were asked!

Ok let me shake aside my wounded pride and get on with the diet before i change my mind!

My diet for the next two weeks:

Breakfast - Cornflakes/ Oats porridge
Mid morning snack - sprouts or a fruit.
Lunch – will keep it very very light but need to eat what’s available in office
Eve snack - Soup
Dinner - 2 chapattis , subzi and a cup of curd.

I am a vegetarian so that helps I guess and need to make an effort to drink pot loads of water.

On the exercise front:

I have joined the dance class 3 days a week.
Add two days of gym to that for which will give me 5 hours of cardio in a week.

Lets see how I cope with that for now.

the most crucial part of this post is in the last word in the first line... "again"

the trick is to not torture yourself so much that you are forced to abandon it after 2 weeks! but who am i to preach. i'm pretty hopeless at diets myself, which is why i have decided not to bother about them
