Day 1
Trying to lose weight, just like every other sad sack in our modern society. I don't think I know one person who isn't at least once weekly thinking they need to lose weight. Our diets are so out of hand but it's so hard to eat a normal diet! There is sugar in everything. Even sauses and boulijong has suger added.
The making of food is easy enough. Chopping takes time but it's not the culprite. It is the mental eneergy that a good diet costs that is so hard. We are so used to getting a meal in one finished pack. Not we have to mix and combine and it is more expensive so you also have to not waste so if you use half an onion today you need to make something with the other half within a reasonable amout of time. Which is who knows how long. Nobady ever taught me how to plan!
I know I know. Many of you out there are saying," well just sit down and make a plan." Well that's all well and good but when? When should I make this plan? Is that after my 8-9 hour work day? Or is it inbetween the extra aktivities that I drive my two kids to in the evening? Or is that while I'm doing laundry, picking up everything the kids leave around, walking the dog, cleaning the house? Or should I do it on the weekends while I'm doing the house matience? Or while I'm trying to figure out how many f#ยค%&/(cking hours I need to exercise to burn off the excess food I already ate?
AND THEN, if that's not enough for you; our kids have now a taste for these foods that aren't good, so I gotta try and make this transisjon and keep everybody in a good mood. What a fantanstik day this will be for me. And Yes, I know, I did this to my self by not being aware of what I have been feeding myself and my family, but jesus christ, there are so many "diets" and so many "experts" that can't figure this shit out and I, who am just a normal person should have been able to figure this out while struggling to make a living and get educated and having youthful hormones driving me to reproduce or die a spinster. NOW I understand but now I'm so far in the hole I don't know how to get out without burying someone.
