The DIET...Day 1

I love food.

Im sure you do too, But I L.O.V.E food.
I love to cook, I love experimenting with flavors, I love eating out at different places. I love it all! No exceptions.
I love a regular bowl of zucchini, lauki, karela or even brinjal. I love giving them my own little twist and feeding people. I love to see the expression on their faces, when something turns out great.

Get it right? So when the scales started to tip on the "other" (not good) side it was time head to foodie hell. My doom was spelled out...DIET.

Maybe i did need some regulation, cuz i spent my entire summer in the kitchen, baking or cooking. And if done well, diets are great ways to detox your body. Try writing down what you eat in a day...even if its a teeny-tiny bite. You'll be surprised.

So here I was googling for "effective, easy", diet plans "that work". And I came across the GM Diet. This was the best diet plan ever! Cuz all you have to do it eat! *Happy music in the background* And drink upto 10 glasses of water per day.

The GM Diet is a seven day plan. If followed rigidly, can help one lose upto 7kgs... in a week!!
(All did I mention,all you have to do is eat?? )

So here I was, all pumped up, ready for my diet, thinking...."this is gonna be so easy".


Boy was I wrong.

DAY1:
9:00 am- I'm all excited. Today is all fruit day! Except Bananas. And im also supposed to avoid mangoes. I start the day with melons- water melon and cantaloupe (kharbuja). I love cantaloupe. (Happiness meter 10)

11:00 am-Ive had 2 bottles of water. I check the fruit basket. I find bananas and mango. So more cantaloupe for me!

12:00 pm: Water melon and water. Rati, my sister, shameless and anorexic as she is, enjoys Maggie with cream, cheese and garlic.
My likeness for melons is steadily decreasing... Happiness meter-8.5

1.00 pm: I'm on the verge of crying. I've watched two episodes of "Hell's kitchen", seen Chef Gordon Ramsey dump two perfectly done lobster risotto in the bin...just because Holly put in crab instead of lobster in it. I curb my depression with another melon. *sigh*
Happiness meter -7

2.00pm: This is my lunch time. My stomach is yearning for grain! I have never missed roti so much! But i control my craving, douse it down with a bottle of water and more cantaloupe.
Happiness meter- 5.5

4.00pm: We're out of cantaloupe, so i go out to buy some,pass my favorite vada-pav store. My stomach gives an involuntary lurch of misery. I bee-line to the fruit store. Buy apples and more Cantaloupe. The exorbitantly priced red, juicy apples (4 for 100 bucks) give me a high, so my happiness meter is now-6.5

5.00pm: The apples are terrible! Stupid, Bland rip off fruits!! To get rid of that annoying after-taste I eat more kharbuja, while watching Man Vs Food. Happiness meter-2

6:00pm: Have dance class, so i figured i would need some energy. Throwing caution to the winds, i eat an entire mango. *Happy sigh* Happiness meter-8. No wonder mango is the King of fruits.

8:45pm: I'm quite happy after class, the day's almost ending. I don't mind another melon now! Give me all the melons in the world!

9.00pm: I'm home. The family's having vada pao and samosas for dinner...




I hate my life.
