I'm Not on a Diet...
Posted 06-01-2008 at 08:17 AM by VernsWifeVickie
Here's another post from my blogger blog, titled, "I Am Not On A Diet"..
Quote:
So...last night after work Vern and I went out for dinner. We went to one of those "Chinese" buffet places that also has a full selection of American choices. I made good choices. I had a put together a nice spinach salad from the salad bar. I picked some nice meats and some buttered mushrooms. I didn't stuff myself as I have been known to do at those places. I am pretty pleased with how it all went.
After the buffet Vern wanted to go to Dairy Queen and have a banana split. He ordered the banana split and two spoons. I had a few bites. It's ok because
I AM NOT ON A DIET!
The significance of my not being on a diet is this....because I am not on a diet, having a few bites of a banana split on Friday night with my husband does not have to trigger an all out binge! Oh how simple that sounds when I say it! The actual walking out of that fact was a little bit more difficult than it looks when I type it here. The evil little woman who lives in my brain and whispers her lies in my ear tried to tell me it needed to be a binge. She whispered, "Now you've blown it, you might as well eat this and this and this..." But, I didn't "blow it" because I am not on a diet...so it's impossible for me to "blow it." It took some effort for me to ignore the voice that's been whispering her lies to me for my whole life. But I did it. I had a few bites of a banana split and I was done.....because I AM NOT ON A DIET!

 |  That evil woman (or man) lives in all of us, taunting us to fail, whether it's losing or maintaining weight, stopping smoking, or drinking, or drugs, or any other problem we might be dealing with. She or he keeps saying, "It's all right, you blew it, go ahead and fall all the way." I have duct-taped the mouth of my evil woman. She's still there, but all I hear are her muffled cries.........  |

| |  Nita...you are so funny! Would you pass me that duct tape please? |

| |  let's pass that duct tape around! vickie, i think you've got something here. diets can fail; heck, if you diet long enough, you WILL fail, because nobody follows the rules 100% of the time from now to forever; but a lifestyle is just that: how you live. |
