I never thought I'd actually go on a diet because I just love food TOO MUCH. I love eating .. well, not the act of eating, but the taste of the different foods, and the satisfying feeling of being full after a meal. Unfortunately, due to my laziness and eating too much during my last quarter at UCLA and during the summer, I must resort to some dieting. More like, watch what I eat and start exercising. har har.

My cousin found this dieting plan and it's not bad to the point that I can't eat any carbs or protein. It just regulates what I eat everyday - it's something different everyday. For example, today is day one and all I'm allowed to eat is fruits (I've eaten guava, apple, and grapes) and this veggie soup that's low in calories and all that bad stuff. The consequence of eating nothing but fruit and drinking nothing but veggie broth and water is that I am currently starving. Ok, not starving, just very, very hungry. I'm out of fruits even though I tried to ration it out so that it'll last till I get home, but I suck at self control. Day two is salad w/ low-fat dressing (because they don't seem to sell non-fat dressing at Costcos) and some more soup. Oh! Bonus is I get to eat a baked potato for dinner. Woot! Day three is ... I don't remember. It's on a list somewhere ... but I think it's veggies, fruits, and soup. Ehhhh ....

I wonder if this diet plan will even work, if I'll be able to last till the very end. It's only for seven days, so I could just keep telling myself, it's only seven days, it's only seven days. And I think it also helps that my sister and cousin are both doing it, too, so there's some moral support in suffering together. Also since the whole apartment is doing it together, we can stop each other from eating and buying food that is not allowed. The only sucky thing is that my cousin's bf stays with us when he's not at work, and even though it's only been one day (not even), he keeps tempting us with what he can eat (burgers, fries, etc.) ... makes me wanna smack him, hard.

But no. I must control myself! Must lose weight! If this diet plan isn't lying, you're supposed to be able to lose 10-17 pounds by the end. Let's see if it's true ... I'll just have to think of this as an experiment ... Jia yo jia yo!!

(Yes, I know, losing weight that fast means I'll only gain it back once I start eating regularly; but it would be good to know that there's some sort of diet plan I can do if I need to lose some 10-17 pounds FAST (kinda ...). Besides, this might just start me eating healthier and being less lazy when it comes to cooking. :D)
