Hi guys.
I took a little nap this afternoon.
Why?
Because I’m starving.
However, I took some of the advice you guys left in the comments, and, while I am still on my diet, I am keeping my doggie close to me at all times and I’m cheating a tiny bit in the diet to make it more survivable. But I am still HUNGRY and TIRED and GRUMPY. But still not smoking! I can’t believe I have to do this for two weeks and I’m only on day two. I might die. Or, more likely, I might only do this diet for a week. But thank goodness my two-week diet coincides with the Olympics. Whenever I feel like giving up, I just turn on NBC and look at all the completely fat-free women with amazing bodies, then eat a fucking salad with LEMON JUICE INSTEAD OF RANCH and get my ass on the tread mill. Sigh. The lemon juice is killing me. Killing me.
Anyway. Here are the first stills from the new 90210, in case you care.
This show is gonna be on the air for half a season, I promise you. It’s gonna be that bad.
Eeeew! Bored now.
I only want to see the cat fight between Brenda and that scank Kelly! They are the new Krystal and Alexis. All of America has been waiting for this, much like the Olmpics.
haha, you’re the greatest :D, i love your website,, keep it up!
This shot at least looks entirely natural, and sun-ray pleats were fantastically popular in 2005.
I don’t know if it will only be on the air for half a season. I mean if horribly written shows like ‘Gossip Girl’ and ‘The Hills’ make it more than a season there must be enough retards willing to watch this crap.
Keep up the good work!
Congrats for not giving in on smoking! And my tip to trick your stomach to think it’s full, drink water regularly.
We’re with you Beet!
Bonne Chance!
I don’t know if this is in your diet plan? But try getting some of the chocolate or caramel rice cakes and eating one with a full glass of milk or water. They don’t have many calories, and the combination will keep you feeling full for a while. :)
Geez, do they flash back to the 70s?!
Beet, drink a lot of water… it’ll fill your stomach and take away some of the hunger pangs. :-) Also, you should also set small goals for yourself and reward yourself when you reach those goals. (For example, if you stick with whatever dietary restrictions you set for yourself from Monday through Thursday, not smoke, and do an hour of cardio a day you’ll: ______________. ) Then on Sunday schedule a massage, or go to a show, or go wine tasting, etc.
Think marathon, not sprint! :-) Good luck! (If it makes you feel any better, I’m doing the cardio thing to get into shape for summer! I find women tend to prefer a guy with a 6 pack rather than a party ball! :-) It’s not any easier for a guy to get motivated either!)
Can’t you eat the salad with balsamic vinegar? fat free dressing, you can even mix it with lemon juice and garlic, and tastes much better.
About 2 1/2 years ago I went on a crazy diet too. I lost 35 lbs & I’ve kept off 25 lbs. I just HAD to have a little taste of chocolate every once & awhile so I started taking a Viactive in the evening. It’s a vitamin chocolate chew for (I think) calcium & vitimin D. It’s not Hershey’s but better than nothing. And the crappy drink water all the time thing works too but kind-a sucks :-) Good luck!
@ Klipper who said “…horribly written shows like… ‘The Hills’”:
What the hell are you talking about?! The Hills is unscripted live TV! Take it back!
(BTW: Before I start another angry debate and receive “hate posts,” I’m just kidding. :-) )
beet.. i’m on day two of a seven day fast.. hardcore fast. check it out http://www.thesparesorts.net. oh and in thailand…
When I wanted to start losing weight, I bought a video ipod and started to watch “24” while on the eliptical. I was so much fun, and I can’t stand running. I’m going to do my first 1/2 marathon in 2 weeks. I would only give you this advice if it was easy, and if I knew it worked with other people. Keep it up!
salsa also works great for a fat free salad dressing. add a little vinegar if its too thick. tomatoes, vinegar, and garlic are SO good for you (and tasty!)- also, whatever the botanical secret stuff is in chili peppers is supposed to boost your metabolism.
i love this site. almost everyone who posts is so nice and really fun to read. thanks for the laughs beet and everyone!
beet, the water advice that folks are giving you is really good advice. so is down unda’s marathon mentality.
remember everyday is a new one so if you screwed up the day before it doesn’t matter, that’s the past, start fresh again.
you can dooooo it. sending positive thoughts your way.
@misscourtenay: how are you doing that without killing anyone? wow.
I heard that The Hills was totally fake, its all acted, even when they’re driving.
But what do I know, I don’t watch the show :Dhee
but good luck on ur diet Beet ;*
I’m having a hard time with my diet also, I’ve also quit smoking like 6 times b4 so here’s a fun fact ; The nicotine in your body stays in your body for 5 days, and if you still want a cigarette after those five days,, then its all in your head. So just take your mind off it and your need for a cigarette goes away :D
Any diet that makes you hate life isn’t doing you any favors. If you want, I will totally modify whatever crappy recipes this diet is giving you and make them tastier. There is no reason you can’t use something besides lemon juice as dressing. Here’s a fat-free, protein-filled, creamy dressing that will make your salad much more bearable:
1/4 cup nonfat plain yogurt
1 tbsp water
2 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp Italian seasoning (or Mrs. Dash, Adobo, or whatever you have)
Also, is it lettuce or spinach in your salad? Use spinach- it has vitamins and lettuce has nothing.
I lost 40 lbs six years ago. No diet- just eating delicious things in sensible amounts. You will totally stop craving crap shortly. Eat protein! Trying to stay full on rice cakes and water is what’s making you grouchy- eat an egg white with it and you’ll feel much better.
Putting lemon juice on salads is something I picked up from diets past and I liked it so much that’s what I always use now! Also, if you can stand it, balsamic vinegar is pretty good on salads, too. My bf is allergic to mayo though so there’s no ranch or Caesar or anything white allowed in the house anyway, so that helps. :)
I’m so poor, I can only afford to eat like every other day now. You’d think as starving as I am, I’d be dropping pounds like a mother. Instead, I think I’m GAINING weight!
Good luck with your diet!
