Wasting money on diets again!

I can't believe my stupidity. I've done what I said I'd never do - I spent money on a diet. I lasted one day - well considerably less really since I began this morning and officially ended it tonight after a dinner that consisted of mainly vegetables. I had a shake for lunch and porridge for breakfast with a couple of pieces of fruit. I made up a curried zucchini and tomato soup (not bad) but the thing about soup is that you really need some bread to go with it! What is the point of having it without bread? Sitting at the kitchen table my eye caught the scorched almonds that I'd said I wouldn't be eating anymore. Well I won't be now - I've eaten them all! And I made my way through a packet of (low fat weight-watcher) chips. So now I feel guilty, fat and poor. When will I ever learn??? I know how to lose weight - exercise a bit more, eat a bit less. Why is something so simple so hard to do?


There are so many books and articles on losing weight - some agree with others and some tell you that you need to turn off your fat switch. I agree that dieting to the extreme makes you feel so hungry you'd do anything to eat just about anything but 'diet' food. No, I'm going back to my original idea, enjoy myself, my fitness regime (once I've worked it out) and just cut down a bit on the things that are not good for me! Oh and of course make sure that the pedometer is on me and that it actually registers the steps that I take and that I take over 10000.


EASY!
