A Fad-Dieter

This week’s challenge is going to be a major struggle for me! I’m a big fan of eating- I just LOVE food! I tend to munch what I want, when I want, but unfortunately this is becoming visually apparent. Last time I went home my Mum took one look at me and said “Blooooody Hell. Have you put weight on!?” (Obviously not a big believer in diplomacy!) She didn’t just leave it there either. Oh no. Her next line was ‘What on earth have you been eating!?’

Given we’re approaching the Easter break soon, I’d like to be able to go home and not receive that reaction. I’d also like to be able to fit into my favourite pair of jeans. They were a pre-university purchase, and I used to have to wear them with a belt, but now I can’t even manage to squeeze my thighs into them! Sad times.

Now, I know as well as the next person that fad diets are stupid and the best way to lose weight is through eating sensibly and exercising. Well, I already do rather a lot of exercise as it is, and couldn’t really do much more, so limiting my food intake is the only way. A short term fad diet seems like a quick fix, and so I thought I’d put one to the test.

If there was a ‘Family Fortunes’ style survey done on Fad diets, the Cabbage Soup Diet would surely be the top answer. Because of its reputation, I've decided to give it a go!
This video pretty much explains the diet... and also highlights what I already know- that fad diets are not sensible. Oh well...!



I’ll let you know how/if I cope with having to exercise some form of self-discipline.

The diet starts tomorrow- literally!
