Diets...Bleah!

I hate dieting. I hate it so much that I have refused to do it for 1 year and 5 months. But 20 pounds later (gasp!) I have to admit that not dieting isn't working for me either. But I'm sick of the failure. So, I decided in December to find a good plan and do it. The problem is, I've been trying to find the most perfect diet in the world. You know, the one that I can't possibly fail on. Well, now its nearly the end of January, and I'm still looking. Sigh.

My work isn't helping either. Take today for example. I had a 7am meeting today, so I grabbed an apple as I ran out the door (healthy). At the meeting, they had doughnuts. I didn't take one...yipee for me. Right after the meeting, I had half of a turkey-swiss wrap leftover from my lunch the day before (relatively healthy). Then my friend brought me lunch from Bajio's. A green chile chicken salad - yummy! And not too naughty. I only used about 1/8th of the dressing, so I'm okay...so far. THEN, the Cake. Oh, the glorious Bundt Cake. It was moist, rich, white chocolate raspberry heaven with thick cream cheese frosting. Oh my gosh it was good. I ate three pieces.

I've decided several times that "This is it...I'm eating healthy starting tomorrow." So then I have The Last Supper. You know what I'm talking about...I know you do. I've had several Last Suppers this month. Oh what fun! I think I need to change that 20 pounds I mentioned to 25 pounds by now.

So, I'm still wondering what to do. Maybe I'm doomed to be fat forever. (Oh please, say it ain't so!) Maybe I need professional help - the psychoanalysis kind. Maybe instead I'll just have another Last Supper.

I love last suppers! They are so GOOD! Maybe that is why I have them sooooo often! Maybe we should schedule one for our "working" weekend. j/k Okay, I am trying one thing and one thing only (so far)...making healthier choices. That is it. I refuse to fail again. I have been thinking about your advice to keep a food journal. I think that I will start that today (so does that make two things I am willing to do???)Whoa!

What do you mean j/k? I think that's a great idea! (heeheehee)
I have just started reading a book called the Beck Diet Solution or something like that. Anyway, it is not a diet plan, it is all about how to diet and succeed. Verrrrry interesting. I'm only on page 40 so I'll let ya know.
