Why? Why is being healthy and loosing weight so hard? Why is junk food so cheap and healthy food so expensive? Why does chocolate cake taste so much better than broccoli?
I bought the Dr. Oz book "You on a diet" today. I am going to start reading it tonight. I need something different. I have tried every diet out there and they all work very successfully until I get bored of them and give up or reach an unbreakable plateau and give up. Jim gets very upset with me for giving up on things. I try, I really do. It just doesn't always work for me. Weight Watchers was by far the best diet I have ever been on. I am at a total mountain of a plateau with WW though. I have been lingering around the same weight for about a year now. Can't loose any more, don't gain much more. Talk about frustrating.
The really sad thing is that I LOVE healthy foods. Well, most healthy foods. I don't love tomatoes or cucumbers. I know that if I ate the right combination of good for me things that I would be happy and weight loss successful. My problem is that my life is so dang hectic and busy that I don't have the time to plan meals well and so I end up eating crap and getting fatter by the minute. I need someone to tell me, "Laura, you need to eat this and this and this". I follow directions pretty well.
The book is pretty thick. Not as thick as my cankles. I am a fast reader so I should be able to read it all by next weekend unless it is really boring. I thumbed through it and saw lots of cartoonish drawings - my inner 10 year old was intrigued.
So, wish me luck on my new weight loss venture. You never know unless you try.
