Diet.

I really loathe using that word. You know it can't be good if the first 3 letters spell DIE. hello?

And the minute it comes out of my mouth.....I mean the SECOND it comes out of my mouth....I am FAMISHED. STARVED. MISERABLE.

Seriously, I would make a terrible homeless person.
Hungry all the time? ppfftt. That is for the birds.

I thought about trying out the South Beach Diet because BHE was doing it, and I like to join in on any fun. That lasted all of 9 minutes.

I should know better. really. I know how I am. I know who I am.

A few (maybe 8) years ago I tried to do the Atkins diet. Coach did it and lost about 20lbs.
At that time though, I had been eating cereal for breakfast for about 25 years.

So after the 2nd day of NOT having cereal for breakfast, my head shot off of my neck and green spew starting shooting out all over the kitchen and the children were scared.

ok, maybe not green stuff, but I was going bonkers.

I felt like I could slap a puppy...if it would get me some carbs.

In general, if I don't eat something every few hours I start to get a headache. I get the shakes. My mind can't focus. (ok, that can happen EVEN with food) I am a miserable little pile of hungry.

I would not make it a day in prison, unless I snuck in some snacks.

I have had some unpleasant side effects this week from trying to limit myself.

Like the other day, I went to PETCO to get some supplies....oh, seriously, we should buy stock in that place.

I had to get Dog food, cat food, cat litter, crickets for the lizards, cookies for the dogs and mice for the snake. yes, they see me coming and I singlehandedly fill a register for them!!!


anyhoo, I digress. As I am looking for the dog food....I am reminded again that I am hungry.
If you have a pet, you will notice that the manufacturers are coming up with new and exciting flavors w/ food and cookies.

First of all, the dog's food choices are endless now.....venison, brown rice, chicken, oatmeal, pot roast, casserole.....I am not making this up!

That was bad enough....but when I got to the cookies....holy mackerel.
My mouth was watering....apple and blueberry flavor, biscotti, sweet potato.....just endless.

It is just a plethora of good flavors....

I knew this was not normal....I realized I just can't diet....I.just.can't.do.it.

So, I ended up NOT doing the South beach diet. good luck to all of you forging ahead...

I ended up getting some really yummy cookies.

Bonus, they are good for my joints and hips and in a few days, my coat should start to be very shiny!!!!
