Pill Fear…

I’ve spent a large part of my adult life dieting and trying to lose a few pounds here and there and I’ve never really been successful. There haven been times when I’ve lost a few pounds, but that was usually caused by fasting, so I always gained the weight back soon after the fast. Most of the time I would gain the weight back that I lost, plus a few additional pounds. But the point is, I’ve never had much success. That’s why I find it odd that I’ve never really been tempted to try diet pills.

I see so many ads on television and on the Internet for diet pills and diet supplements, such as hydroxycut hoodia, but I’ve never given much thought to taking them. I guess I’ve watched too many 20/20 specials about diet pills or something. I do wonder if diet supplements could help me shed 20 pounds though. Maybe one day I’ll get the nerve to try them.

Meatless…

I can’t believe that I’ve been a vegetarian for over six months. I never thought I’d be able to give up meat and stick with it. I’ve tried so many times in the past to stop eating meat, but I was never able to stop. Then one day I just said no more and that was the end. Of course I’m not really sure if giving up meat has made any difference in my health or life because I still eat a lot of the wrong things, but I’m happy that I decided to do something and stuck with it. I even inspired my mom to give up meant in January. I’m so proud of her too. Unlike me, she still eats fish though. It’s cool though. Considering how addicted she was to chicken I’m just happy she stopped eating meat at all.

One thing I was worried about when I became a vegetarian is proper nutrition. I didn’t want to miss out on anything that I really needed for my health. So now in addition to taking multiple vitamins, my mom and I also take a ton of other vitamins. I’m not sure if they’re all necessary, but at least they can’t hurt!

It’s Their Cooking…

My stomach feels weird. It’s been feeling weird for the past few days and I’m not sure why. I’m thinking it had something to do with the butter pecan ice cream that I had on Saturday. Or maybe it was the dumplings I had on Monday. My Gram made them and they tasted good, but for some reason I always get sick when she cooks. If I didn’t know better I would think she was doing something to me. I doubt it though since my mom never gets sick from eating her cooking. Only me. I really need to stop eating food that other people cook. The only time I don’t get sick is when I eat my mom’s cooking. Suspicious. It’s bad when eating your family’s cooking makes you want to go buy the best colon cleansing product on the market just to get the food out of your system! That’s a very bad sign. Maybe it’s also a sign that I need to stop cheating on my diet. It’s really not worth the pain!

Pizza Craving…

I’m really craving pizza right now. I haven’t had pizza in a while and I really have a taste for it. I think pizza will always be my weakness. I can live without a lot of things but I have to have my pizza. I don’t eat pizza as often as many people, but I need to at least have some kind of pizza a few times a year. It’s usually the food that I choose to cheat on my diet with. I always have regular cheese pizza or vegetarian pizza. Both are really great!

I’ve been kind of serious about my dieting lately so I probably wont get a chance to have pizza again until the summer time. That’s going to make me look forward to it even more. When I do get a chance to get some, forget worrying about belly fat burners. I’m going to pig out with a few slices!!
