I, like many women of this day and age, have been plagued by a few extra pounds. I'm a bit of a health buff in that I know all the stuff, but I never quite get the rubber to meet the road.
I enjoy reading success stories of people who have battled against excess weight. It's even more reassuring to watch those people on TV where you can see before and after photos and listen to the person being interviewed.
But it's always the same when asked about their diet. According to these interviews these people appear to have eaten the same breakfast, the same lunch, and the same dinner every day of the year in order to have lost their weight. That's too much like dog kibble to me. Seriously, who can stand to eat oatmeal for breakfast three hundred and sixty five days a year? I can't.
I figure that's why I don't "stick to a diet". Nobody gives any options. It's always "eat the exact same thing for a super long time and you'll lose weight". Of course! After a while you'll start to not want to eat if all you have to eat is people kibble.
But who can stand the boredom? I can't. That's why this blog. I'm not the healthiest of eaters. But if I can share my meals with you, then I can get the motivation to make them healthier and give you options that don't end in "What are we going to eat tonight Brain?" "The same thing we eat every night, Pinky: Salad". And hopefully we can both get healthier, shed some extra pounds, and live a life decidedly free of "People Kibble".
I've found that cultivating an attitude of disdain or apathy towards eating does wonders. Don't allow yourself to take any pleasure in eating and it comes to feel like a distraction from everything else you could be doing.
