TO DIET OR NOT

I wonder why despite my best efforts to control my eating habits, I still have not regained my ideal weight... for the past year, I have restricted my intake of rice and other carbs like bread and pasta (my favorite...!!!) and still my weight has refused to go down, and remains permanently fixed at 128 lbs... still 10-15 pounds more than it should be!



Two years ago, I embarked on one of the popular diets available and for awhile I was able to maintain my ideal weight... but after awhile I began to slack off and started snacking again on sweets ( a big no-no!). Add to that the fact that I moved to another company so that meant no more weekly taebo sessions!!!



So I guess it should not come as a big surprise to me why I couldn't really put the weight off ... too much sweets and lack of exercise are the culprits!!! But more than that I guess it's the complacency that seems to have settled over me... so confident was I that since I do not eat rice anymore I would not really gain weight... well I was dead wrong!!!



Now I'm aghast at the fact that whenever I window shop at a mall the fat person that I see in the reflection turns out to be me!!! (surprise! surprise!) So I vowed to start eating healthy again... forget the sweets!!! ...but definitely not the pasta!!! (oh pleaze!!!)... I'll just eat more fruits and veggies... no more chocolates and chips!!! So bring on the oatmeal... the salads... the steamed dishes... and the flourless dark chocolate cake (ha,ha,ha I guess I can still have my cake and eat it too!!!) I hope I will find the time to also take up a new sport...But I guess more than that, I am hoping I'll have better willpower to practice what I preach...
