Diet (5)
After my four days break, i went on one more diet. This one was more about small quantities every two hours.. which , if you know me at all, is so unlike me. I hardly ever have breakfast, let alone snack between breakfast and lunch, and I usually have a good lunch then perhaps a dessert or dinner. Anyway.. this diet was torture.. besides the multi-meal thing, it was so full on fruits (I'm not a fruit person) and because of the limited amount of vegetables I eat, I ended up having sautee peas and carrots, and grilled chicken for lunch for 7 days.. You can imagine what that feels like..I almost hate them khalas..
Trying to not feel bad
Tab3an, there's the thought "how spoilt of me.. people are dying of hunger and I'm complaining about having the same meal everyday!" well.. that only got me through the first few days, afterwhich , I totally lost interest in food in the first place..I only ate to survive.. didn't even bother to eat all what I could, I dropped the fruits , sometimes even the bread and cheese.
Logical Me
Honestly , I can't blame all that on this particular diet.. it's just as good or bad as any other.. but for me.. i've been eating stuff that I hate (fruits, veggies, salad..etc) for over a months now, so it was bound to happen anyway. That's the understanding me speaking here. The misunderstanding me was thingking.. "f@$K is really!I can't do this anymore".
Hitting bottom low
The worst thing is.. I lost my cravings; I was no longer in the mood for anything specific.. I was just sick and tired of sick people's food. And it kept getting worse; the last 3 days, I couldn't hang out with people having normal food. I'd look at my sister having pasta al forno for lunch with envious eyes. It's not like it was any of my favorites.. just the fact that I couldn't have any got me down. I hit bottom low when I went to my friend's house and had to take my cantaloupe pieces in a tupperware with me in order to not feel bad when they are having cake!
Judgement day
I swore to myself, if I didn't loose a proper kg this time, I'm not continuing anymore. Half a kg doesn't count as achievement. So it was basically up to the scale at Dr. Azza's clinic to determine the fate of slightly overweight girl's adventure. And luckily.. the scale has been kind to me..1.5KG! That's a total of 6.5 KG in 6 weeks..wooooooooohooooooooooooo! Oh Yeah! Me is pretty! Me is sexy(almost).
Time for celebration
To celebrate, I decided to bake..I'm actually writing this down waiting for my pear-almond tart to be ready.. and it smells delicious all the way from the kitchen.. I'll let you know how it goes. But the other celebration is.. I'm taking say 3 days off.. I need to at least miss chicken before I get into my next diet.. don't you think?
Wish me luck
