In Pursuit of Skinny: Make Hollywood Proud!

My half-assed attempts to lose weight are beginning to get on my own nerves. I’ve been bouncing between 130 and 137 for the past 2 weeks. I did notice that the less socially active I am, the more I weigh, and my social slowdown in the past 2 weeks isn’t helping. Granted, I made this decision myself, for financial reasons, but something needs to be done to balance this trend.  Besides, at one point I think I got bored of the NYC social scene. Plus there are only so many times I can witness models and aspiring actresses snort coke all night long. It gets depressing when you realize the women most people idealize, in real life have no self confidence, self restraint or dignity.  

Well the good thing is, since yesterday I did a lot of walking (took my mom out on a date to the Metropolitan Museum), even for NYC lifestyle, that did get me ready to start today anew. First order of business I need to cut out all the useless foods I eat. I've done this before where I switch all my foods for a lesser caloric equivalent, but since I do not have the time or money to go to a health store I need to figure out another way to do this. Hopefully in a week I will get back down to consuming 500 calories per day. That seems to work. Damn I’m such a weirdo when it comes to losing weight. Even at my heaviest, a sensible diet and exercise never worked for me. Last time when I dropped 20 pounds (which I never regained *knock on wood*), eating 500 calories per day is the only thing that worked for me, while my routine of biking 20 miles and consuming 1500 calories per day, every day, didn't.  Also I am thinking I-lipo “therapy” (if you can call it that) for my calves once I hit 120. That is the only part of me that never loses any inches. I am not fat now, but I do want to be perfect – the kind I have envisioned in my head. It’s like a twisted game I play where I declare war on my body. To the tanks!

So here is my plan:

• No sugar of any kind unless it has almost no calories – this means not eating most fruits (with exception of lemons, limes and watermelons, and some berries), and substituting sugar for stevia.

• No white starches and carbs – eliminate all breads, all rice, all pastas (not that I eat them), potatoes, carrots and any “root” vegetables from my diet.

• Only 100 calories of dairy total per day allowed, including cheeses, yogurts and any by products. Also, no egg yolks or anything that includes them is allowed.

• Green tea pills are back in style.

• All meals must include at least 2 cups of bouillon  or vegetable soup.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!
