Moderation. Slow but steady.

Being over weight is bad for your health. I almost had a freakin’ heart attack when I stepped on the scales this morning. Once I regained my composure and made my way down the hall I knew one thing for certain. There would be no moderation. No sensible. No slow but steady. I could loose a pound or two per week but I’ll have to step on the scales again next week and this time it might be the big one. I could die from moderation and I’m not much of a risk taker.

I’m going on the green diet. Cucumbers, celery, and green tea to be exact. That’s all I’m eating until I have lost at least 5 pounds. I chose this diet because those were the only vegetables that didn’t look like crap in the grocery store. It’s a bad time of year for produce. The advantage of cucumbers and celery is they are supposed to be tasteless so I won’t be disappointed when they are tasteless. The advantage of green tea is I already drink green tea. If I’m feeling really rebellious I might throw in an occasional apple or banana. We’ll have to see.

It’s been going good so far. I’m four hours into the diet and I haven’t cheated once, unless you counted the handful of frosted mini wheats I grabbed and ate before I remembered I was on a diet. I promised the kids homemade pizza for dinner tonight and I might have a slice of that but nothing else. Except maybe a SMALL bowl of the cookie dough ice cream in the freezer. That would be a one or two time thing. And isn’t there some chipotle chedder in the fridge. I haven’t had a grilled cheese in awhile…
